Dhaka, May 25 (V7N)- EA Sports’ latest World Cup simulation has predicted that Portugal will lift the 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy, creating widespread discussion across the global football community. The prediction has drawn significant attention due to the gaming company’s previous successful forecasts in earlier tournaments.
According to the simulation, Portugal are expected to overcome strong competition in the expanded 48-team World Cup format, potentially giving Cristiano Ronaldo a historic late-career triumph. The prediction has already gone viral among football fans, especially supporters of Portugal and Ronaldo.
While many view the result as purely statistical modeling from a video game platform, others point to EA Sports’ previous accurate predictions in past World Cups as a reason to take the forecast seriously. However, football analysts emphasize that real-world outcomes will depend on form, fitness, and match conditions rather than simulations.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
