Indonesian-Dutch esports player backs Spain for 2026 World Cup title

Dutch esports player Yos Sonneveld, known as indominator94 and of Indonesian heritage, has backed Spain to defeat Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final. Sonneveld, who was born in Jakarta, shared his prediction during the Oranye Esports Bola Culture event at the Dutch Culture Center Erasmus Huis in South Jakarta. He cited the Netherlands' own painful elimination by Argentina in the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals as a reason for his support. "Besides that, in my opinion, Spain's path to the final was tougher than Argentina's," Sonneveld told ANTARA. He highlighted Spain's challenging route, which included victories over Austria, Portugal, Belgium, and defending champions France. In contrast, Sonneveld viewed Argentina's journey as less arduous, despite needing extra time in some matches against Cape Verde, Egypt, and Switzerland. Argentina also secured a late win against England in the semi-finals. Sonneveld, whose family hails from Semarang, Indonesia, expressed hope that Spain would perform well and overcome Argentina. He went on to predict a 3-1 victory for Spain, with goals from Mikel Oyarzabal, Mikel Merino, and Lamine Yamal, while Enzo Fernandez would score for Argentina.
