The exclusive jewelry is part of a strictly limited-edition collection of 2,026 individually numbered pieces, paying direct tribute to the tournament year. The victorious team will be awarded 30 of these rings, while the remaining 1,996 pieces will be made available to fans worldwide as Official Licensed Products. One side of the ring features the FIFA World Cup trophy, while the other will be customized to reflect the identity of the winning nation, with each piece arriving custom-fitted and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

To celebrate the moment on the pitch, the winning team’s captain and head coach will receive temporary rings immediately following the final whistle. The 30 official player and staff rings will then undergo personalized customization before being presented at a later date. This ensures a flawless, lifelong fit for the athletes, permanently cementing their historic achievement in the global game.
