FIFA breaks the tradition. For the first time, a historic surprise awaits the champions of the World Cup

In an unprecedented historical precedent since the start of the World Cup, FIFA announced the creation of special souvenirs that will be awarded to the 2026 champions and will add to the gold trophy and traditional medals that the champion team has been accustomed to receive for many decades in the ancient tournament.

This new initiative is directly inspired by one of the oldest sports traditions established in the United States of America, where it is customary to reward teams that win major championships in various sports with luxurious commemorative rings that commemorate their achievements and remain a living witness of the moments of glory they achieved;

The International Federation explained that each of these distinctive rings “will form part of a very limited and rare edition of only 2,026 individually and serially numbered examples”, symbolizing the year of the tournament, making each ring a unique, unrepeatable work of art of exceptional historical value.

FIFA has revealed the distribution mechanism for these rare rings, stating that the team that wins the title in the final match will receive 30 rings allocated to its players and technical staff, while the remaining 1,996 rings will be sold to football fans around the world, in a move that gives passionate fans a unique opportunity to own and keep World Cup history. as an eternal memory.

The artistic design of the ring is distinguished by the fact that it bears an exact engraving of the famous World Cup design on one side, while the other side is dedicated to highlighting the national identity of the team that won the title through its distinctive symbols and colors. FIFA also confirmed that “each ring will be individually and uniquely numbered, designed with extreme precision according to the size of its owner’s finger and accompanied by an official certificate of authenticity” confirming its ownership and documenting its historical value.
