Lamine Yamal, Paul the Octopus and Ronaldo: 1xBet Releases New Videos for 2026 World Cup

1xBet has released animated videos on X ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The videos focus on Spain and Portugal, two national teams set to take part in the tournament.

1xBet had previously released videos about England and Brazil. The series is styled as a journey by national teams to the World Cup and is designed to promote outright bets on the tournament.

The Spain video is built around the team’s trip to the United States. It shows Spain players, fans and the Miami landmarks and fans.

In one scene, Lamine Yamal appears alongside an octopus. The moment is a reference to Paul the Octopus, who became one of the symbols of the 2010 World Cup after correctly predicting a series of match results, including Spain’s victory.

The same scene features a bet on Spain to win the upcoming tournament at odds of 5.25.

The second video focuses on Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo is central to the video, along with the theme of what could be his final World Cup.

The video presents Portugal’s trip to the United States in a light entertainment style, with players shown against the backdrop of California scenery.

One frame shows a bet on Portugal to win the tournament at odds of 13.0.

As with the Spain video, the Portugal video ends with the series’ general World Cup slogan: “Join the 2026 World Cup with 1xBet.”
