FIFA Unveils Massive New Rewards for 2026 World Cup Champions
FIFA has announced that the winners of the World Cup final will receive commemorative rings, a tradition commonly seen in American sports. A total of 30 rings will be presented to the victorious team, with the captain and manager receiving temporary rings immediately after the final. The full set of customized rings will be awarded at a later date.
Each ring will be individually numbered and custom-fitted, featuring the winning team's identity and the World Cup trophy. An additional 1,996 rings will be available for public purchase, marking the year of the tournament. This move is part of FIFA's effort to tap into the American market, following the introduction of mandatory hydration breaks.
The rings will be sold alongside other merchandise, including patches of turf from the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium, priced between $450 and $3,000. The tournament's final weekend has seen frustration among fans over merchandise prices, including $375 jerseys made for each host city. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the final and may be involved in the trophy ceremony.
