2026 World Cup champions receive the first-ever championship rings (video)

The Spain national team, winners of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, not only lifted the gold trophy but were also awarded special championship rings, presented for the first time in football history.

It is reported that a total of 2,026 championship rings were produced for this project. While 30 of them were presented to the Spain players and coaching staff, the remaining 1,996 rings will be released for sale to fans as officially licensed collectibles.

This initiative marks a completely new tradition in FIFA history, as world champions were previously awarded only trophies and medals. The championship ring is now expected to become one of the most prestigious symbols for world champions. This innovation is generating significant interest among football fans.
