A resurfaced prophecy by Ghanaian preacher Prophet Telvin Sowah has ignited debate on social media following the omission of Black Stars midfielder Mohammed Kudus from Ghana’s final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The controversy emerged after Ghana’s head coach, Carlos Queiroz, announced the country’s final squad on June 1, 2026, ahead of the global tournament to be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The exclusion of Kudus from the squad came as a surprise to many football fans and quickly became one of the most discussed topics online.
Amid the reactions, an old video of Prophet Telvin Sowah began circulating across social media platforms. In the footage, the preacher confidently predicted that Mohammed Kudus would be part of Ghana’s World Cup squad despite concerns about his physical condition.
Speaking during a live discussion on Okay FM, Prophet Sowah claimed that the talented midfielder would make it to the tournament but would struggle with a leg-related issue.
According to the prophecy, Kudus would reportedly experience a burning sensation around his leg, affecting his performance during the competition.
“Kudus will be forced to the World Cup despite his injury, but as I said earlier, he won’t be able to finish the first half; he will experience a burning sensation around his leg, and he won’t play again,” the prophet stated in a separate video that has since resurfaced online.
However, with the midfielder failing to make the final World Cup squad, many social media users have questioned the prediction’s accuracy, with some arguing that the prophecy has been disproven by events.
Others, however, have urged caution, noting that interpretations of prophecies can vary and that opinions remain divided.
