The earlier you place a deposit the lower the number you’ll receive

Spain and Argentina are deciding the 2026 World Cup right now at MetLife Stadium, and for the first time in the tournament’s 96 year history, the winners are getting rings. Real championship rings, the kind NFL and NBA teams hand out at parades, engraved and gem set and everything. In true FIFA fashion, these aren’t just for the heroes that take home the World Cup. Regular fans can buy a version of their own too, and the price alone says plenty about what this new tradition is really for.

FIFA's Six Figure Rings

For the first time in FIFA history, the World Cup winner will receive official championship rings, a tradition borrowed straight from the NFL, NBA, and MLB. 30 of the 2,026 rings produced will be given to the winning squad. The rest will be offered up for sale to the public, and each one is individually fitted, with the World Cup trophy engraved on one side and details tied to the winning team on the other.

FIFA will be selling the World Cup Champion Rings for $12,000. Deposits are open now. You can choose to reserve a ring for either Argentina or Spain for $1,200 and get your money back if your team loses, or reserve a ring for the winning team right now for $12,000. In any case, we’re sure they’ll find enough sheikhs and oligarchs and illegal arms dealers willing to fork the cash over to be on the winning team.

The rings are not FIFA’s first attempt at squeezing extra revenue out of this tournament. FIFA has also been selling chunks of the pitch used at stadiums, ranging from a few inches to $3,000 for a larger chunk.

FIFA’s merch store has been absolutely buzzing all tournament long. From jerseys to scarves to water bottles to team-branded toilet seats, the World Cup has been an absolute money printer.

In any case, most of the 1,996 public rings will probably never end up on anyone’s finger at all. They’re pretty ugly anyways.

Bottom Line

We’re curious to see if anyone tries to flip their ring. 2,026 is not a huge production run, but it’s not nothing. If you consider the kind of person that has the desire and money to blow on something like this, you have to wonder if there will be enough rings to go around.

Anyways, this is a fitting way to wrap up one of the most lucrative tournaments in World Cup history. We’ve watched as resellers have turned huge profits on match day scarves, limited edition jerseys, and even the beer cups handed out at games. It’s been a real hoot.
