With days to go before the 2026 World Cup kicks off, social media exploded with a phrase that Baba Vanga supposedly said decades ago: that “a new light will appear in the sky” during a major global sporting event. TikTok, Facebook, and X shared it millions of times in a matter of hours. 🌟⚽
The problem: no expert has been able to find the original record. The Bulgarian seer, who was born in 1911, lost her sight as a child, and died in 1996, never left documentary proof of that specific prediction. What does exist is the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas, visible right during the tournament, which many used to give the theory more fuel. 🔭
The 2026 World Cup is the biggest in history: 48 national teams, three host countries (Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), and the opening match on June 11 in Mexico City. Is the prophecy real, or is it simply the power of social media to turn any mystery into a global trend? 👀
