- Adidas unveiled the "Trionda Final" — the first-ever distinct final-only World Cup ball, with a gold/black/white, trophy-inspired design naming the four host cities, set to debut in the semis, third-place game and final.
- Lionel Messi, Jude Bellingham and teen Lamine Yamal modeled the ball — Messi has 7 goals so far, Bellingham 4, and Yamal is a breakout first-time World Cup star (round-of-32 MOTM).
- The ball keeps the Trionda's performance specs but adds connected-ball technology to provide real-time data for VAR and offside decisions.
The news, distilled into what matters.
