Maradona Prediction on 2026 World Cup Proved Right

Diego Maradona made a bold prediction in 2018 regarding the 2026 World Cup hosted by the US, Mexico, and Canada. He claimed American organizers would push for four quarters of 25 minutes each to maximize advertising revenue.

Maradona criticized the lack of passion in the tournament and joked about Canadians being skiers, yet time has validated his concerns about commercialization.
