A Brazilian spiritualist has gone viral on social media after claiming extraterrestrials could disrupt the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The prediction has spread online at the same time as the tournament itself, which is now under way. The 2026 World Cup is the first to feature 48 teams and 104 matches, and it is being staged across the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Before the competition kicked off, an ominous warning began circulating online. The claim has not been verified and appears to be based on a dream described by the psychic rather than any evidence of an actual extraterrestrial threat.
On June 2, Brazilian spiritualist Vo Bahiana, whose real name is Elisângela de Souza, uploaded a video to Instagram describing a dream she says revealed a disturbing vision linked to the tournament.
Speaking to her 23 million followers, Bahiana said the dream involved alien beings arriving during the World Cup.
She claimed the vision showed an enormous spacecraft bringing roughly 100 extraterrestrials to Earth.
According to her account, the location in the dream was not random, but a World Cup match taking place in Florida.
Bahiana also said the scene became even more alarming, with players, referees and fans among those allegedly taken by the visitors.
“[Translation] I was inside that ship. When the ship rose, the mothership arrived, a much larger ship, and took in thousands of people from the soccer field. I saw so much screaming, so much crying, so many tears, suffering,” she says in the video, as quoted by the Mail Online.
She said the aliens in the dream used mechanical arms to seize people from the ground.
Despite that, reports from The Economic Times said the dream ended with everyone being returned safely.
The Mail Online also reported that Bahiana claimed another craft would appear, this time carrying ‘Reptilians’.
“Do not go to the stadium in Miami on June 24, 2026. Stay aware.”
That warning has led some online to point toward the June 24 fixture between Brazil and Scotland, which is scheduled for 6pm ET at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. FIFA’s published match schedule lists the game as a Group C match in Miami Stadium, the temporary FIFA name for the venue during the tournament.
Unsurprisingly, social media users were quick to share their reactions.
“This is so fake even the aliens don’t believe it.”
“This girl is, like, watching too many sci-fi movies and dreaming the same stuff.
Although there’s one where there’s a World Cup game or world championship and this happens: a group of people and players get abducted by a spaceship, but the UFOs are good folks, nothing bad!!”
“I want to see the faces of everyone who doesn’t believe when we have the proof that we’re not alone in this universe; it might not even be in the game—there are already so many pieces of evidence around the world.”
Whether people see it as a bizarre prophecy or just a viral story, the prediction has definitely sparked debate during the 2026 World Cup.
For now, there is no indication that the match in Miami will be anything other than a routine group-stage fixture, and no official source has suggested any disruption to the tournament.
