A unique anecdote about Mexican weathercaster Yanet Garcia's cheering ritual has resurfaced as the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup approaches.

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 4th (local time) that Garcia, known as the world's sexiest weathercaster, once performed a ritual in a past World Cup where she asked her co-hosts to kick her buttocks to pray for the national team's victory.

Garcia participated in this bizarre event during a live Mexican TV broadcast in 2018 during the Russia World Cup, after finishing her weather forecast. The ritual began with the absurd suggestion that kicking Garcia's buttocks would bring luck to the Mexican national team ahead of the World Cup final. At the time, Garcia wore a form-fitting dress with the Mexican national team's home jersey layered over it while broadcasting.

During the broadcast, sports commentator Enrique Bermudez de la Cerna urged fellow host Jorge Van Langen, "Wish her luck and kick her buttocks," to which Van Langen replied, "You'll do the same to me, right?" before joining the ritual of kicking Garcia's buttocks. Garcia, who was kicked, reacted with surprise and smiled.

Mexico has not advanced past the round of 16 since reaching the quarterfinals in the 1986 World Cup held in their own country. The media reported that "Garcia, who predicted Mexico's victory in the previous tournament, is expected to become the national team's 'lucky charm' again in this World Cup."

Garcia, originally from Monterrey, Mexico, majored in public accounting, obtained a certified health and nutrition coach license, and has attended conferences at Harvard University in the United States. She also founded and operates a professional modeling academy and is active as an actress, having appeared in the films "Sharknado 5: Global Swarming" and "Belleza."

Meanwhile, Mexico, which is in Group A of the North American World Cup alongside South Korea, will face South Africa in the opening match on the 12th, followed by matches against South Korea and the Czech Republic.
