With just weeks left in 2025, believers in Baba Vanga’s predictions are watching closely, fearing one of her prophecies may come true any day now. The late mystic—famous among followers for predictions they believe matched events like 9/11 and the rise of Donald Trump—reportedly claimed that in 2025, extraterrestrial life would make contact with Earth during a major sporting event. She described a “new light in the sky,” visible to people around the world.

While big sporting events like Wimbledon and the Ryder Cup have already passed uneventfully, one major global moment remains this week: the FIFA World Cup 2026 draw in Washington, D.C., which will be watched by hundreds of millions of viewers. Some think this could match Vanga’s description.

However, it’s important to note that Baba Vanga left no written prophecies—most claims come from followers or her niece after her death. Whether anything happens on Friday is unknown, but the prediction has sparked renewed curiosity and speculation.
