The champions of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will receive more than the iconic trophy and gold medals after FIFA introduced championship rings as a new prize for the winners of football’s biggest tournament.
According to NBC New York, the world football governing body announced that the rings will be presented for the first time in the history of a FIFA competition following the World Cup final at New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday, July 19.
The initiative brings one of American sport’s most recognisable traditions to the global game, with members of the victorious team set to receive bespoke championship rings in addition to lifting the FIFA World Cup Trophy.
FIFA said the rings form part of a strictly limited collection of 2,026 individually numbered pieces, created to commemorate the landmark 2026 tournament.
According to the organisation, 30 rings have been reserved exclusively for players and officials of the championship-winning team, while the remaining 1,996 will be made available worldwide as an Official Licensed Product, allowing football fans to own a commemorative piece of World Cup history.
Each ring has been specially designed to reflect the significance of the tournament and its champions.
“One side prominently displays the iconic FIFA World Cup Trophy, while the opposite side will be customised to reflect the identity of the victorious nation.”
FIFA added that every ring will be individually numbered, custom-fitted for its recipient and issued with a certificate of authenticity.
The governing body also outlined a two-stage presentation process for the new award.
“Immediately after the final whistle, the winning team’s captain and head coach will receive temporary championship rings during the on-field celebrations to mark their achievement.”
The remaining permanent rings will later be individually tailored to each recipient before being presented at a separate ceremony.
“The permanent rings for all 30 recipients will then be individually customised to ensure a perfect fit before being officially presented at a later ceremony, creating a lasting symbol of one of football’s greatest accomplishments.”
