Football World Cup: There is a lot of buzz all over the world these days about FIFA World Cup 2026.. Victory and defeat in the sports field are decided by hard work, strategy and performance of the players. But even today in many countries of the world, some people believe that spiritual powers, tricks or black magic can also influence the results of the match.
One such story came to light during the Football World Cup, which attracted the attention of the whole world.
When Harry Kane was accused of practicing black magic
During the World Cup, Nana Kwaku Bonsam, a famous Ghanaian traditional priest (witch doctor), claimed to have performed a spiritual ritual to influence England star striker Harry Kane’s game. He said that he does not want to cause serious harm to Harry Kane, but only wants him to not perform well against Ghana.
When Harry Kane missed an easy chance during the match, there was a lot of discussion on social media regarding this claim. However, no scientific or official proof of this has ever surfaced.
Why are such beliefs discussed in Ghana?
Traditional spiritual beliefs and local religious traditions are believed to have a deep influence in many parts of Africa, including Ghana.
There some people believe that success or failure can be affected by special rituals. At the same time, there are a large number of people who consider these claims to be mere superstition.
The tradition of tricks in sports is not new
In many countries of the world, players and teams follow their own auspicious signs or beliefs. Some players like to wear the same jersey, some say a special prayer before entering the field, and some step on the field in a particular order.
Although experts believe that these things can increase the confidence of the players, but the outcome of the match ultimately depends on the performance.
What do religion and faith say?
Even in Indian religious traditions, importance has been given to worship of God, prayer and positive thinking. But religion does not support things like tantra-mantra or black magic done with the aim of harming another person.
Most religious scholars believe that work, effort and faith in God are the real paths to success.
Does black magic really work?
There is no scientific evidence available that black magic can affect the performance of a player. According to experts, the basis of success in sports is practice, fitness, strategy and mental strength.
Therefore, such claims should be seen as personal belief or cultural belief rather than fact.
