The winners of Sunday's FIFA World Cup 2026 final between Spain and Argentina will receive championship rings. The announcement came on Friday from FIFA, marking a new tradition for the tournament.
The final is scheduled for July 19 in New Jersey. FIFA stated that the champions will receive bespoke rings in addition to the trophy and gold medals. A limited edition of 2,026 numbered rings will be produced, with 30 going to the winning team.
FIFA described the rings as a new symbol of triumph, bringing an American sporting tradition to football. The captain and coach of the winners will get temporary rings immediately after the match. The remaining rings will be customized and presented later.
US President Donald Trump is set to attend the final. FIFA has faced prior criticism for measures like mandatory hydration breaks during matches in the United States.
