Technological innovation, the 2026 World Cup ball will be charged before matches

The official ball of the 2026 World Cup, the "Trionda", represents a major step forward in sports technology, as it includes an electronic system that requires charging before matches.

This process is similar to charging smart devices and serves to power the internal tracking system, which is considered among the most advanced ever in a football tournament.

According to technical data reported by Adidas, a full charge of the ball provides enough energy for around six hours, covering the entire duration of a match, including extra time.

A highly sensitive motion sensor is integrated inside the ball, operating at 500 Hz, recording data 500 times per second. This allows the system to instantly identify any contact with the ball by players.

The sensor accurately monitors the position, speed, spin and trajectory of the ball in the air. In order not to affect the feel of the game, this approximately 14-gram module is carefully placed inside one of the inner panels and is balanced so that it is not felt by players during shots or passes.

The data collected from the ball is combined with advanced camera systems at the 2026 World Cup stadiums in the US, Canada and Mexico, including goal-line technology and the Hawk-Eye system to create a three-dimensional model of the match.

This information is sent in real time to the VAR system, helping referees make faster and more accurate decisions on cases such as offside and handball. In this way, the technology aims to reduce errors and increase accuracy in match decision-making.
