A First in World Cup History: 'Champions Rings' Reward Spain's Stars
The Spanish national team, winner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, was awarded the iconic trophy and prestigious gold medals, and the (Matador) team also received a new symbol of victory.
The Spanish national team won the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, the second time in its history, after a 1-0 victory over Argentina following extra time on Sunday evening in the World Cup final, reclaiming the title it previously won in 2010 in South Africa.
In a first in FIFA competition history, the Spanish national team players will receive specially designed Champions Rings, a move that brings one of the most famous American sports traditions to the global game.
Each ring was part of an extremely limited edition of 2,026 individually numbered copies, a move that directly celebrates the tournament itself.
Of these rings, 30 will be presented to the winning team, while 1,996 rings will be available to fans around the world as an officially licensed product, giving fans the opportunity to own a unique piece of 2026 World Cup history.

Immediately after the match, Rodri, captain of the Spanish team, and Luis de la Fuente, the team's head coach, received two temporary rings to commemorate the occasion. Subsequently, the 30 rings will be personalized for each winner before being officially presented at a later date, ensuring a perfect fit that lasts a lifetime for an achievement that will resonate forever.
