FIFA World Cup

The FIFA World Cup is the biggest tournament in international football, contested by national teams every four years and run by FIFA since the first edition in 1930. Brazil are the most successful nation with five titles, and the trophy has been lifted by only a small group of countries across its history. The 2026 edition, hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, expands the finals to 48 teams for the first time, with a new group stage feeding into the knockout rounds. From the opening fixtures to the final, every match carries weight, and upsets are part of what makes the tournament so unpredictable. Golden Predictions covers the World Cup in depth, with match previews, team and player analysis, form and tactical notes, and predictions for every fixture.
