A self-proclaimed psychic who has correctly predicted three of the last four FIFA World Cup winners has revealed his pick for this summer’s tournament, which will be hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Bruno predicted that Spain would win the competition for the first time in their history.
His prediction proved accurate as Spain defeated the Netherlands in the final thanks to Andrés Iniesta’s extra-time winner.
Four years later, Bruno correctly forecast Germany’s triumph at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
He then successfully predicted France’s victory at the 2018 tournament in Russia, where Les Bleus defeated Croatia in the final.
Psychic discloses 2026 World Cup winner
However, Bruno’s streak came to an end at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He predicted that France would successfully defend their title, but Didier Deschamps’ side ultimately lost to Argentina on penalties in the final.
Despite that setback, Bruno has now made another bold prediction for the 2026 World Cup.
Speaking to Globo Esporte, he said:
“Since 2022, I’ve been announcing the next champion team. Since then, I’ve been stating that Portugal will be the world champion.”
After identifying France, Spain, England, Argentina, Portugal and Brazil as the main contenders, Bruno believes Portugal will go on to lift the World Cup trophy for the first time in their history on July 19.

He also predicted that defending champions Argentina will be eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Bruno expects Brazil to fall short as well, citing concerns over Neymar’s fitness and influence on the team.
“I don’t think Neymar is 100% ready to play in this World Cup. And if he plays, once again, the national team will be eliminated before the semi-finals, because the team will revolve around him, repeating the tactical mistake of 2022.”
Portugal confirm World Cup squad
Portugal have already announced their final 26-man squad for the tournament.
Veteran captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who is preparing to appear in his 13th major international tournament, has been included by manager Roberto Martínez.
He is joined by key players including Bruno Fernandes, Rúben Neves, Pedro Neto and Rafael Leão.
One notable omission is Matheus Fernandes, who misses out despite impressing for West Ham United this season.
Meanwhile, Tottenham midfielder João Palhinha has also been left out of Martínez’s squad.
