The winners of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will receive championship rings for the first time in the tournament’s history, introducing one of America’s most iconic sporting traditions to global football.

FIFA announced that the champions of Sunday’s final between Spain and Argentina at New York New Jersey Stadium will not only lift the coveted World Cup trophy and receive gold medals but will also be presented with specially designed championship rings.

The rings mark the first time such an award has been introduced at a FIFA competition.

A total of 2,026 individually numbered rings have been produced to commemorate the 2026 tournament.

Of these, 30 rings will be reserved for the World Cup-winning team, while the remaining 1,996 will be made available to fans around the world as an official licensed product.
