Zlatan Ibrahimovic has backed the United States to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, urging fans to believe as the USMNT storm to the top of Group D.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has never been short of a bold opinion and his latest is a big one. The former Sweden striker has tipped the United States to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, backing them ahead of traditional heavyweights Spain, France, Argentina and Brazil, according to NDTV Sports.
Speaking after the Americans’ electric start to the tournament, Ibrahimovic said the team has the momentum, confidence and belief to challenge for football’s biggest prize. He urged fans to “start believing,” insisting that strong national backing could prove decisive as the competition intensifies.
It’s hard to argue with the logic right now. The USMNT have swept past Paraguay and Australia to top Group D, generating genuine excitement and clearly catching Zlatan’s eye.
