Controversial Ghanaian spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam has made another headline-grabbing prediction at the FIFA World Cup 2026, this time declaring that Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo are destined to win the tournament.
Days after claiming responsibility for England captain Harry Kane’s struggles against Ghana, Bonsam has now shifted his focus to Ronaldo, insisting the Portuguese legend will finally lift the World Cup trophy.
“This World Cup Is For Portugal”
Speaking about the tournament, Bonsam confidently predicted Portugal’s triumph.
“This World Cup is for Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo. They will win it.”
According to reports, the Ghanaian spiritualist further claimed Portugal had already secured victory “in the spiritual realm” and that Ronaldo’s long-awaited World Cup success was inevitable.
He added that the Portuguese captain could be confident because “his moment has arrived.”
While the claims have no factual basis, they have once again sparked debate among football fans during the tournament.
From Harry Kane To Cristiano Ronaldo
Bonsam returned to the spotlight earlier this week after claiming he had cast a spell on Harry Kane ahead of England’s group-stage clash against Ghana.
Before the match, he told the Daily Star:
“I have shown what I am capable of before, so I know what work I must do to stop him.”

England were subsequently held to a goalless draw by Ghana, prompting some fans on social media to revisit his remarks.
However, Bonsam later softened his position, insisting there was no personal animosity toward the England captain.
“Harry Kane is not my enemy. I have a baby whom I will soon name after Harry Kane.”
He also posted on Facebook that he would “release” Kane so the striker could score in England’s next World Cup fixture.
Who Is Nana Kwaku Bonsam?
Nana Kwaku Bonsam is one of Ghana’s most well-known and controversial traditional spiritualists.
Based in Accra, he operates three shrines and describes himself as an African traditional priest and herbalist who offers spiritual guidance and traditional healing practices.
Football fans may remember him from the 2014 FIFA World Cup, when he claimed responsibility for Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury concerns before Portugal faced Ghana in the group stage.
At the time, Bonsam alleged he had used spiritual powers to prevent Ronaldo from performing at his best.
Portugal’s World Cup Campaign
Bonsam’s latest prediction comes as Portugal continue their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign with hopes of delivering the nation’s first-ever World Cup title.
For Cristiano Ronaldo, the tournament could represent the final opportunity to complete one of the few remaining achievements missing from his remarkable career.
Whether Portugal can fulfil Bonsam’s prediction will ultimately depend on performances on the pitch, with the knockout stages set to determine the next world champions.
