adidas has revealed the TRIONDA FINAL, the Official Match Ball for the final stages of the FIFA World Cup. The gold and black ball celebrates the 16 Host Cities and features adidas Connected Ball Technology to assist match officials.
With fewer than two weeks to go until the final of the biggest-ever FIFA World Cup in New York, New Jersey, adidas has revealed the TRIONDA FINAL - the Official Match Ball for the semi-finals, bronze final and final of the record-setting tournament.
Building on the TRIONDA Official Match Ball unveiled in October 2025, TRIONDA FINAL evolves the design of the Official Match Ball while maintaining the same performance-driven construction. https://x.com/adidasfootball/status/2074150240861429873?s=20
A Design for the Final Stages
For the first time in FIFA World Cup history, adidas has moved beyond a traditional colour update, introducing a dedicated design that reflects the magnitude of the tournament's closing matches, as per the FIFA website.
The design of TRIONDA FINAL is inspired by the journey towards football's ultimate prize. A premium gold finish references the FIFA World Cup™ trophy, set against a black base to elevate the ball's look and feel, creating a bold and refined visual identity for the final stages of the competition.
Celebrating the Host Cities
Uniquely, TRIONDA FINAL celebrates the 16 iconic Host Cities that have welcomed the world for the biggest FIFA World Cup ever. As hosts of the semi-finals, bronze final, and final, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami and New York and New Jersey are prominently featured within the main blocking of the design. Meanwhile, Boston, Guadalajara, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Monterrey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Toronto and Vancouver are incorporated within the triangular graphic elements, ensuring their significant contributions to the success of the tournament are recognised right through to the final whistle.
'Etched into FIFA World Cup folklore'
"The TRIONDA FINAL ball for the last four matches of the FIFA World Cup is here," said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. "The iconic TRIONDA has brought so much joy every time it has hit the back of the net in this FIFA World Cup, and it perfectly embodies the unity and passion of the tournament's host nations, Canada, Mexico and the United States. For the final four matches of the tournament, this TRIONDA FINAL will be at the feet of the best players on the planet. Through every touch, dribble, flick, pass, cross, save, strike and goal, the 16 cities that have helped FIFA stage the record-breaking 23rd edition of the tournament will be further etched into FIFA World Cup folklore."
Advanced Technology
The TRIONDA FINAL also carries the latest evolution of adidas Connected Ball Technology, delivering precise ball data in real time to support faster decision-making by match officials, while enhancing insights into the game. (ANI)
