Cafu, the Brazilian World Cup-winning legend, has backed Colombia to claim the 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy. This comes after Brazil's shock elimination from the tournament following their Round of 16 loss to Norway.
Erling Haaland's double secured a 2-1 victory for Norway, leaving Neymar's goal as mere consolation for the South American giants. Cafu had initially harboured hopes that his nation would lift the trophy.
The former AC Milan defender shifted his allegiance after watching Carlo Ancelotti's squad bow out. When reporters asked him to pick a favourite for 2026, Cafu didn't hesitate.
"Colombia," he replied simply. The Colombian team has impressed on the pitch lately, he noted, but their next opponents Switzerland pose a serious threat that shouldn't be overlooked.
