One side of each ring will feature the FIFA World Cup trophy, while the other side will be customized with the name of the winning team. After the final, the winning team’s captain and head coach will receive temporary rings. The official rings, each individually numbered, custom-fitted and accompanied by its own certificate of authenticity, will be presented to the winning team at a later date.
A total of 2,026 championship rings will be produced, with 30 going to the winning team. The remaining 1,996 rings will be made available for fans to purchase as officially licensed merchandise.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina will be played Sunday at New York New Jersey Stadium.
