Gullit names Spain, France as strongest teams for 2026 World Cup
Former Chelsea and AC Milan star Ruud Gullit has named Spain and France as the two strongest teams to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This summer's tournament will feature 48 teams competing across the United States, Mexico and Canada. Speaking to Diario AS, Gullit stated: 'I see Spain and France as the strongest.' Despite his prediction, Gullit expressed personal hope that his home country, the Netherlands, will lift the trophy. Argentina currently holds the World Cup title after winning in 2024 in Qatar. The expanded 48-team format creates more opportunities for upsets, but Gullit's analysis favors these established football powerhouses.
