What does this South America World Cup prediction market measure?

It measures whether the country that wins the 2026 FIFA World Cup is classified as part of South America. If a South American nation wins the tournament, this outcome resolves Yes; otherwise it resolves to another continent or Other based on the market rules.

When will this market resolve?

This market is tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is currently scheduled for June 11 through July 19, 2026. It resolves once an official winner is declared, as long as that happens by December 31, 2026.

What happens if the 2026 FIFA World Cup is cancelled or delayed?

If the tournament is cancelled, postponed beyond December 31, 2026, or no official winner is declared by that date, the market resolves to "Other" according to the listed rules.

How is a country's continent determined for this market?

The market uses World Population Review as the definitive source for assigning a country to a continent. That means the winning nation’s continent classification comes from that source, not from bettor opinion or alternate geographic definitions.
