Woman leads church in thanksgiving for Chelsea’s Club World Cup triumph

It’s not every day that a football match turns into a Sunday sermon, but for one passionate Chelsea fan, the Blues’ stunning 3-0 demolition of Paris Saint-Germain at the FIFA Club World Cup was more than a game; it was a reason to gather the faithful and lift voices in thanksgiving.

On Sunday, July 20, 2025, exactly a week after Chelsea’s shock victory in New Jersey, which crowned them world champions for the first time in the expanded 32-team format, a video has gone viral of a woman leading an entire church congregation in praise and prayer, all in Chelsea’s name.

She did not hold back as she sang, and testified before the altar and brimming with gratitude for what she believes is divine favour on her beloved team.

She sang with Chelsea’s name, and when it was her turn to speak, she poured out her heart in words that blended football passion with deep faith:

“God has truly blessed Chelsea. Not long ago, we gathered to thank Him for our 1-0 victory, but now, he has given us three goals, so we have come again to share his goodness and testify to his blessings,” she said.

To her, the emphatic score line wasn’t just a tactical masterclass by Cole Palmer and his teammates; it was a holy sign.

“You did not let us be put to shame. These three goals stand for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, a sign that God truly cherishes this team,” she added.

But the prayer didn’t stop with Chelsea. In an emotional twist, she turned her praise towards home, interceding for Ghana’s own giants, Asante Kotoko, to be lifted just as Chelsea were.

“We also lift Kotoko before you. May you bring victory to the Asante land just as you did for Chelsea. Continue to bless Chelsea and its players, and keep all the supporters in your care,” she said.
