  • FIFA will award championship rings to the winners of the 2026 World Cup, in addition to the trophy and gold medals.
  • A limited edition collection of 2,026 numbered rings will commemorate the tournament, with 30 going to the winning team and the rest sold as official souvenirs.
  • The new rings, featuring the FIFA World Cup trophy and personalized details, add a North American element to the awards ceremony.

The 2026 World Cup champions will receive a new commemorative prize: championship rings. FIFA announced that winners will get these rings alongside the traditional trophy and gold medals. This addition aims to enhance the prestige of the tournament's conclusion.

A special collection of 2,026 individually numbered rings has been created to mark the 2026 World Cup. Thirty of these rings will be presented to the members of the victorious team. The remaining 1,996 rings will be made available globally as officially licensed memorabilia for fans and collectors.

Each ring is designed with the FIFA World Cup trophy prominently displayed on one side. The opposite side will be customized to reflect the unique identity of the tournament's winner. FIFA stated that the introduction of these rings adds a distinctively North American element to the award ceremony, reflecting the tournament's host region.
