The Norwegian star’s picks leave out two of football’s biggest giants, stirring debate ahead of the next Mundial.
Erling Haaland has picked his favourites to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but in a move that will surprise many football fans, the Norwegian striker left out both Portugal and reigning champions Argentina. The specific teams Haaland named as his top choices were not disclosed in the source at press time.
The Manchester City forward is widely regarded as one of the brightest talents in world football and his opinions often spark conversation among fans and pundits alike.

Nigeria missed out on the last edition in Qatar but will be eager to prove themselves on the global stage if qualification is secured. The omission of traditional heavyweights like Portugal and Argentina from Haaland’s list could suggest he sees a shift in international football’s balance of power ahead of the next tournament.
Neither Erling Haaland nor his representatives have issued further clarification about his predictions, and there were no official reactions from the Super Eagles camp or other national team coaches at press time.
