Mash-Up Ball Launch: Adidas has released a FIFA World Cup 2026 Mash-Up Ball, accompanied by the Adidas Predator 94 Reverse boots, blending retro designs.
Design Combination: The Mash-Up ball incorporates design elements from three iconic World Cup balls: Adidas Azteca (1986), Adidas Questra (1994), and the Trionda (2026).
Technical Features and Release: The ball utilizes Adidas' OMB technology, features a retro Adidas Originals Trefoil logo, and will retail for €150 starting March 17, 2026.

Adidas today launched an extraordinary FIFA World Cup 26 Mash‑Up Ball, together with the Adidas Predator 94 Reverse boots. It has match-ready technology, but we are unlikely to see it on the pitch (possibly, with the Adidas 2026 World Cup Trefoil debut).

Adidas FIFA World Cup 26 Mash-Up Soccer Ball

The Adidas FIFA World Cup 26 Mash-Up football combines design elements from three iconic tournament balls: the Adidas Azteca (1986 Mexico), the Adidas Questra (1994 USA), and the Trionda (2026 USA, Mexico, and Canada).

The Adidas FIFA World Cup 26 Mash-Up football keeps a classic white and black base, mixing patterns from the Azteca, Questra, and Trionda.

Technically, the ball uses Adidas’ OMB (Official Match Ball) construction and surface technology, the same used for the 2026 ball. The layout keeps a traditional panel structure rather than the recent panel designs.

A notable detail is the use of the Adidas Originals Trefoil logo, emphasizing the retro concept behind the release.

The Adidas FIFA World Cup 26 Mash-Up Ball retails at €150, available from 17 March 2026.
