FIFA announced that the winners of the 2026 World Cup final between Argentina and Spain will receive championship rings for the first time in the tournament's 96-year history. In addition to the trophy and medals, 30 bespoke rings will be given to the champions, described by FIFA as bringing an American sporting tradition to global football. One side of the ring features the World Cup trophy, the other a custom design for the winning team. A further 1,996 rings will be sold to fans. The article notes this is part of broader Americanisation of the World Cup, including a half-time show and mid-game adverts. US President Donald Trump is expected to attend and present the trophy. Players have previously commissioned rings themselves, with some sold for charity.
