At this point…
It doesn’t look like luck anymore.
Before the 2026 FIFA World Cup even kicked off, EA Sports FC predicted that Spain would lift the trophy.
And that’s exactly what happened.
──────────
On July 19, Spain defeated Argentina 1–0 in the World Cup final, becoming world champions for the second time in their history.
With that result, EA’s prediction came true once again.
──────────
What’s even more impressive…
This marks the fifth consecutive Men’s World Cup correctly predicted by EA’s football simulation.
Spain (2010)
Germany (2014)
France (2018)
Argentina (2022)
Spain (2026)
──────────
Not every detail was perfect.
EA predicted Lamine Yamal would finish as the tournament’s top scorer…
But that part of the simulation didn’t happen.
Still, the most important prediction—the champion—was right once again.
──────────
Whether it’s incredible data modeling…
Or one of the greatest streaks in gaming history…
EA Sports has become football’s most unexpected fortune teller.
Five World Cups.
Five correct champions.
And that’s a prediction record that’s getting harder and harder to ignore.
