Colombian singer Manuel Turizo made a fun bet with Spanish presenter David Broncano during his visit to 'La Revuelta': if Colombia and Spain face off in the 2026 World Cup final, Broncano must watch the match wearing the Colombian national team's shirt.
The 2026 World Cup is stirring not only the stands but also television studios. Colombian singer Manuel Turizo, the star guest on the Spanish show 'La Revuelta', had a viral moment by challenging presenter David Broncano to a football bet that has taken social media by storm.
A bet with a World Cup flavour
The interview, aired by the Spanish public broadcaster, coincided with the eve of the round of 16 match between Colombia and Ghana, which the South American team won. Spain, on the other hand, had just eliminated Austria and was preparing to face Portugal.
With the World Cup atmosphere boiling, Broncano asked Turizo about the possibility of a Colombia-Spain final. The Monterian artist did not hesitate: “That day we are not friends,” he replied with laughter, causing hilarity in the studio.
But it didn’t stop there. Turizo proposed a deal: if both teams reach the final, they will watch the match together from the stadium, but with one non-negotiable condition. “I invite you, but you have to wear the Colombia shirt,” the singer concluded.
Football as a media hook
The bet, shared on the program's social media, has become a viral phenomenon. Fans of both teams are crossing their fingers for the clash to happen and to see Broncano dressed in yellow, blue, and red.
For the Spanish audience, the anecdote adds spice to a World Cup that already keeps fans on edge. The possibility of a final between the 'Roja' and the 'Tricolor' is not far-fetched: both teams have shown a high level in the tournament.
Beyond the joke, Turizo's gesture reflects the national pride that these events evoke. The singer, known for his straightforward style, has managed to connect with Spanish viewers without losing his Colombian essence.
Will the bet come true?
For now, both Colombia and Spain need to keep winning matches. The next hurdle for Néstor Lorenzo's team will be the quarter-finals, while Spain faces Portugal in the round of 16. If both teams meet expectations, the dream final could become a reality.
Meanwhile, fans of Turizo and Broncano are eagerly awaiting the outcome. The bet has injected an extra dose of excitement into a World Cup that already doesn’t need more incentives. That said, if the final happens, Broncano will have to prepare his best pose in the Colombian shirt.
