Goldfish makes World Cup 2026 match predictions in Toronto

An Oranda goldfish named Swimbappe has become a local attraction in Toronto due to its daily predictions for the 2026 World Cup. The fish is housed in a tank designed as a soccer field, located outside an office building in the city center. To make a prediction, the fish swims to the left or right of the tank, which organizers claim indicates the match winner. The project developers report that the fish has achieved 14 correct predictions, 4 incorrect ones, and 10 draws. The name of the fish is inspired by French national team captain Kylian Mbappe. While organizers note that draws are difficult to predict due to the fish's movement patterns, the spectacle continues to draw crowds of spectators. The goldfish has gained significant social media attention as a viral phenomenon during the tournament.
