Marc Cucurella jokes he may shave his hair if Spain win World Cup

Marc Cucurella has hinted he might shave his trademark curls if Spain lift the 2026 World Cup. After famously dyeing his hair red following Spain's Euro 2024 triumph, the Chelsea full-back posted a cryptic social media clip saying: "The World Cup is coming, but this year, I'm not dyeing it." Fans immediately read the message as a promise to go further than a colour change, with many speculating he could shave his iconic locks if La Roja win in North America.

His partner shared a reaction video, appearing shocked and joking, "Without your curls, you aren't coming back home." Having already followed through on previous bets, the idea of a bald Cucurella has become a talking point alongside Spain's tournament hopes. Teammates have adopted the gag in camp, some teasing that they want to win just to see whether he will do it.

The defender is often the entertainer during long stays, and colleagues note his reputation for keeping his promises.
