In a historic first for the FIFA World Cup, the 2026 champions will receive championship rings in addition to the traditional trophy and medals, as announced by FIFA. The rings, inspired by US sports traditions like the Super Bowl and NBA, will feature the World Cup trophy on one side and be customized for the winning team on the other. Immediately after the final between Spain and defending champion Argentina, the captain and coach will receive symbolic transitional rings, with all 30 personalized rings delivered later. FIFA is also offering 1,996 numbered, custom-made rings for sale to fans worldwide, each with a certificate of authenticity. The move further Americanizes the World Cup final, which will also feature an XXL halftime show with a superstar performance, reminiscent of the Super Bowl.
