World Cup 2026: Vinicius names favourite to win trophy

Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior said Spain is among the favourites to win the 2026 World Cup.

The Brazilian highlighted Spain’s recent triumph at the European Championship and noted that Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is in the squad.

“Spain are among the favourites at the World Cup, they won the Euros, and they have Lamine Yamal,” Vinicius told Cazé TV.

“Lamine is one of the best in the world. Fans pay tickets for players like him,” he added.

Spain is drawn in Group H, where they will face Saudi Arabia, Cape Verde and Uruguay.

The nation’s last World Cup victory came in 2010 in South Africa.
