The winners of Sunday’s FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain will receive championship rings for the first time in the tournament’s history, FIFA has confirmed.
The rings, a tradition synonymous with American sports such as the NFL’s Super Bowl or even NBA Championships will be presented alongside the World Cup trophy after the final at New York New Jersey Stadium.
A total of 30 rings will be awarded to members of the victorious squad, with each featuring a miniature World Cup trophy as part of its design and a personalised engraving inside the band. FIFA will also produce 1,996 replica rings for supporters to purchase.
