FIFA World Cup 2026: Champions to Receive Rings
The FIFA World Cup 2026 will be special because the winning team will get championship rings for the first time ever.
These rings will be custom-made and given to the players after the final match in New York.
There will be 2,026 rings made in total, with 30 for the winning team and the rest for fans to buy.
Each ring will have the World Cup trophy on one side and the team's identity on the other.
