Lamine Yamal and his World Cup promise

There is less than a year until the 2026 World Cup. Spain, one of the favorite teams, has its great figure in Lamine Yamal. The 18-year-old FC Barcelona forward already knows what it’s like to win a tournament with the national team: he was champion of Euro 2024. Now, in a video on his YouTube channel, he revealed what he would do if he wins the World Cup title.

“I promise that if I win the World Cup I will grow my entire beard and mustache for three weeks. I promise that if I win the World Cup I will draw 100 beats,” said Yamal.

The young attacker also shared how the Euro Cup taught him to handle pressure in national team tournaments.

“I learned especially in the first game with the first nerves… I learned to be more calm, that the games are very long and that, if you play a game badly, then you have another six left. Without rushing, let it come naturally and that the tournament is very long and always ends better than it started,” he concluded.

Yamal’s promise adds a touch of humor to the ambition of the Spanish team. His growth as a footballer promises to be key in the World Cup.
