The founder and overseer of Reign House Chapel International has become one of Ghana's most talked-about religious figures during the tournament because of several football-related prophecies that have circulated widely online.
Earlier in the competition, the Accra-based preacher predicted that the Black Stars would lose all three of their group-stage matches unless the team sought spiritual intervention from him.
However, Ghana defied that prediction after opening their campaign with a victory over Panama before eventually reaching the Round of 32.
Despite the backlash that followed those comments, Prophet Eric Boahen Uche has continued sharing his views on the World Cup, with his latest remarks now focusing on Spain.
Prophet Eric Boahen Uche makes Spain claim
During a church service on July 12, 2026, the preacher claimed that Spain's hopes of winning the FIFA World Cup had been spiritually affected because of Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal.
According to Prophet Eric Boahen Uche, Yamal's decision to wave the Palestinian flag during Barcelona's La Liga title celebrations attracted prayers from Israelis against Spain.
He argued that those prayers might have spiritually altered Spain's path in the World Cup, insisting that the country's chances of lifting the trophy had been affected by the incident.
