Brazilian actress and influencer Jade Picon garnered significant attention as she carried the match ball onto the pitch before the 2026 World Cup third-place playoff between France and England. The game, held this Saturday in Miami, USA, concluded with England securing a 6-4 victory.
Picon's presence on the field, at just 24 years old, created a buzz across social media. With over 20 million Instagram followers, the Brazilian star launched a YouTube channel with her brother Léo in her teens, while also undertaking various modeling assignments. She also owns a clothing brand and has appeared in several Globo soap operas and on Big Brother Brasil.
Jade, an ambassador for Adidas, the official ball supplier for the tournament, was invited by the brand to appear alongside British influencer Tobi Brown, who boasts nearly four million followers on the same platform. Due to this partnership, the Brazilian was unable to be photographed wearing the official Brazil national team jersey, as the team is sponsored by Nike.
