Brazil icon Kaka has offered bold predictions for next year's World Cup in North America. The tournament runs from June 11 to July 19 across the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
Speaking to The Athletic, the former Real Madrid and AC Milan midfielder laid out his forecasts. He's backing Spain's Lamine Yamal as the tournament's standout performer.
"Lamine Yamal will be the best player at the World Cup," Kaka told reporters. He also tipped Carlo Ancelotti to be the competition's best coach.
According to him, the US national team will push through to the semi-finals. But Kaka's biggest call?
Brazil will lift the trophy.
"Brazil will win the 2026 World Cup," he said confidently. The prediction reflects his belief in his homeland's quality heading into the tournament.
