This event group tracks whether specific players will be included in the USA's official 2026 FIFA World Cup squad, as announced by June 1, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Markets span four platforms (Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless, Predict) covering 40+ candidate players including established stars like Christian Pulisic and emerging talents. Resolution depends on official FIFA squad announcement, with replacement before first match still counting as 'Yes'.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
All four platforms (Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless, Predict) use identical resolution criteria with no material divergences in timing, source, or logic.
Primary resolution logic:
FIFA official sources (FIFA.com), with consensus of credible reporting as secondary source
Core resolution logic:
Market resolves YES if player is officially announced as member of USA's final 2026 World Cup squad by June 1, 2026, 11:59 PM ET
Only full squad announcements are considered; prior cut lists and preliminary rosters do not trigger resolution
If player is announced but replaced before USA's first match, market still resolves YES
Market resolves NO if player is not announced in final squad, or cannot be confirmed within timeframe
Market resolves NO if 2026 FIFA World Cup is cancelled or postponed after June 14, 2026, 11:59 PM ET
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Replacement after announcement: If a player is officially announced as part of the squad but is replaced before the nation's first game for any reason, the market resolves YES
Tournament cancellation or delay: If the 2026 FIFA World Cup is cancelled or postponed after June 14, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market resolves NO
Preliminary vs final squad: Only the officially announced final squad counts; preliminary rosters, cut lists, and previous squad lists do not trigger resolution
Source hierarchy: Primary resolution source is FIFA.com; credible reporting consensus is used as secondary source if official announcement is delayed or ambiguous
Timing:
Resolution window closes June 1, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Tournament cancellation or postponement after June 14, 2026, 11:59 PM ET triggers NO resolution for all markets in this group.
