Brazilian psychic Athos Salomé, known internationally as the “Brazilian Nostradamus”, shared his views on the 2026 World Cup. The tournament, which brings together 48 teams in the United States, Canada and Mexico, begins this Thursday (11). In an interview with the British newspaper Daily Star, he highlighted the profile of the possible champion and listed the teams that, according to his perception, have the greatest potential to lift the cup.
Salomé did not name a single champion, but gave clear indications based on visual and energetic sensations. He describes uniforms dominated by intense crimson red, orange or other “fire colors” heavy, deep tones associated with heat, friction and strength. This vision, according to him, points to teams that convey both visual and competitive intensity.
Spain emerges as the main incarnation of the vision
Among those mentioned, Spain is the one that best represents the seer’s description. Roja is going through a great phase, with a talented generation led by young people like Lamine Yamal. The team mixes refined technique with physical intensity, and the dominant red on the uniform aligns perfectly with the “colors of the flames”. Mathematical models and bookmakers also place Spain at the top of the favorites.
Portugal combines experience and youth
Portugal appears as a strong candidate. Salomé praised the balance between high-level veterans such as Cristiano Ronaldo and a crop of young talent. The European team carries a tradition of competitiveness and uniforms with elements that refer to the energy described. The team is looking for its first world title and arrives with a deep squad.
Morocco as the great zebra
The seer highlighted Morocco as a possible surprise of the tournament. The African team, which has already shown strength by reaching the semifinals in 2022, has a vibrant red and striking green uniform. Achraf Hakimi and his teammates represent the emerging power of African football, with solid defense and lethal counterattacks. For Salomé, the team carries the “energy of flames” and can repeat or surpass the previous feat.
England in search of historic fasting
England was mentioned for its tradition of red uniforms at decisive moments and for its extremely competitive squad. After years of heavy investment, the English team is looking to end a long drought of world titles. The team reaches its technical and physical peak, with prominent names in the main European leagues.
France and incomparable physical power
France is seen as a strong candidate thanks to its “raw physical power” and squad depth. Even with the traditional blue, red details on the uniform would contribute to the visual and competitive “friction” described by Salomé. The French team has experience in recent finals and has stars capable of deciding games on their own.
Holland and the “Giant Killer”
Holland, traditionally orange, fits directly into the symbolism of the colors of fire. Known as the “Giant Killer” for its solid defensive line and ability to surprise favorites, the Dutch team has a striking offensive style. Salomé sees in the team the combination of resistance and intensity necessary to advance far.
Argentina, the current champion with a fiery spirit
Even without predominant red, Argentina was included due to its notable psychological resistance and collective intensity. Defenders of the title won in 2022 with Lionel Messi, Albiceleste maintains a strong base and fighting spirit that Salomé associates with the necessary “heat”. The campaign in the Qualifiers and Copa América reinforces her status as a candidate.
The seer gained prominence after predicting the Argentina x France final of the 2022 World Cup. The Daily Star recalled other predictions attributed to him, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the death of Queen Elizabeth II. These statements, widely covered by the international press, transformed the Minas Gerais figure into a reference figure in the universe of predictions.
With the tournament about to begin, Athos Salomé’s statements add a mystical layer to the debate over the favorites. While analysts rely on statistics, recent form, and head-to-head matches, the seer brings an energy- and visual-centered symbolic perspective. Whatever the result on the field, his words are already fueling discussions among fans about which teams really have the “fire” necessary to conquer the world.
