World Cup 2026: Brazil legend Romario names six favourites to win trophy

Brazilian legend Romario had named six favourites to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament.

Speaking with The Guardian, Romario snubbed England and named Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, France and Portugal as the favourites to win the World Cup.

“Brazil has a stature, and the Brazil shirt carries a weight that people respect a great deal,” Romano said.

“England are a good team, but I would not put them among the favourites.

“My favourites are France, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Germany and Brazil.”

Romano has won the World Cup in the past with Brazil in 1994.
