Welcome to the weekly digest of the most talked about stories from adidas News.
FIFA World Cup 2026™ is almost here and to get fully ready for the tournament we have a mix of flying Triondas, new boots, bringback kits, and a serious emoji upgrade.
The Official Match ball for the tournament is now available as an emoji in WhatsApp – fans around the world will be able to use the design for the billions of conversations expected to be sparked by the tournament, as well as reacting to comments with a special animation. From the screen to the sky, to celebrate the opening of the tournament in Mexico City a huge Trionda hot air balloon flew over the host country to spread the excitement far
and wide.
On the pitch our adidas athletes will be ready for competition, with the ‘Road to Glory’ boot pack – new versions of the F50, Predator and COPA designed especially for the tournament. And the fans will be ready too, with a Bringback collection allowing classic jersey designs from leading adidas Federations the stage to shine.
Supporting athletes means creating products that help them enjoy their sport and enable them to be at their best to train, play and compete. The new CRAZYFLIGHT 7 helps athletes jump higher and land softer, designed specifically for Volleyball and Handball players. And runners get a new option with a development in the hugely successful ADIZERO Evo SL range. The EXO gives a bold aesthetic and
provides precision support.
