For the first time, FIFA will award commemorative rings to the 2026 World Cup winners, a nod to the North American championship-ring tradition. The winning team's captain and coach will receive temporary rings right after the final, with 30 personalized rings produced afterwards.
A total of 2,026 individually numbered rings will be made, 1,996 of them for public sale — a World Cup on one side and the winning team's identity on the other. An absolute first in World Cup history.
