The 2026 FIFA World Cup, one of the most prestigious sports organizations in the world, ended with the final match played on Sunday. Defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra time in the final, Spain won the World Cup championship again after 16 years.
Simulations carried out within the scope of EA Sports FC 26 predicted that Spain would become the champion. Thus, the series of games correctly predicted the winner of the tournament for the fifth consecutive World Cup.
“The World’s Game Tournament Mode” in EA Sports FC 26 was used for this prediction. As a result of the data obtained in the study in which more than 100 simulations were carried out, Spain stood out as the biggest favorite and possible champion of the tournament.
EA Sports FC’s remarkable series in this field started with the 2010 World Cup. After Spain, the game correctly predicted Germany as champion in 2014, France in 2018 and Argentina in 2022. Before the 2026 World Cup, he chose Spain as the favorite and was not wrong once again.
