A timely kickoff gift
Google has quietly introduced a branded soccer ball to its accessories lineup, marking the first physical sports item tied to the upcoming 2026 World Cup. The Google Stadium Soccer Ball carries the company’s signature colors and logo, and is priced at $45. Production is slated to finish by the end of June, ensuring it reaches customers just as the tournament’s opening matches begin on June 11.
The launch is accompanied by a small wave of World Cup‑themed merchandise in the UK Google Merchandise Store. Shoppers can purchase a Chrome Dino FC Android Figurine for £30, a collectible that echoes the beloved pixelated dinosaur, alongside a selection of jerseys and scarves that celebrate the tournament’s football spirit.
While the online store provides immediate access, Google also operates physical retail locations in major markets such as New York and California. These stores may offer the soccer ball earlier than the scheduled shipment date, giving fans in those regions a chance to claim the limited edition item in person before the final on July 19.
