Pastor Aloysius Bujingo faced online ridicule after Spain won the 2026 World Cup despite not appearing among the four teams he had prophesied for victory.
Ugandan social media targeted Pastor Aloysius Bugingo for ridicule after Spain won the 2026 FIFA World Cup, leaving all four teams he reportedly named as possible champions without the trophy
Clips circulating online show the House of Prayer Ministries International founder had predicted that Argentina, France, Brazil or Portugal would win the tournament.
One of the four will be the winner of the world cup,” he predicted. “You should dig up this clip when one of them has been crowned. I have spoken now when 28 teams still remain.”
Bujingo reportedly presented the forecast as a spiritual revelation rather than a personal football opinion.
The video attracted fresh attention after Spain reached the final and defeated defending champions Argentina 1-0 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19, 2026.
Ferran Torres scored the winning goal in the 106th minute as Spain secured their second World Cup title. Argentina failed to register a shot during the opening 90 minutes, despite Spain struggling to convert their dominance into goals.
Spain’s triumph meant that none of the four countries reportedly mentioned by Bujingo won the competition.
Ugandans responded by reposting the pastor’s earlier remarks alongside jokes, memes and sarcastic messages. Some asked what the outcome meant for Bujingo and his followers, while others called on the pastor to explain the failed prediction.
