An official 2026 FIFA World Cup Final match ball

Few sporting artefacts carry the symbolic weight of an official FIFA World Cup Final match ball. This highly coveted object was used during the tournament’s championship game between Spain and Argentina in the 2026 final. It stood at the centre of football’s most consequential 90 minutes during what is widely considered the biggest sporting event in history. As both a historic object and a symbol of athletic excellence, it represents one of the auction’s leading pieces.

Chris Martin’s ‘Earth Ball’

The first halftime show in FIFA World Cup history brought together a star-studded lineup of performers from across the world including Shakira, Madonna, BTS, Justin Bieber and Burna Boy on 19 July 2026. The artists were selected by Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay, and accompanied by conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the P.S. 22 Chorus from Staten Island.

This ‘Earth Ball,’ inscribed by Martin with the names of the performers, is a testament to artistic collaboration. It was shared with audiences through Coldplay’s social media in the lead-up to the performance and captures the spirit of unity that has defined the event.

Across his decades-long career, Messi has set numerous all-time FIFA World Cup records including most appearances and most matches won. This signed jersey from the 2026 world cup presents collectors with an unmatched opportunity to acquire an object connected to one of the most influential athletes of the modern era.
