Kalshi
A national team will compete in the 2026 Men's FIFA World Cup, with one of their players or the team collectively emerging as the leading goal scorer during the tournament.
The market resolves Yes for the individual player who scores the most goals for Argentina during the 2026 Men's FIFA World Cup. Goals scored during regulation time, stoppage time, and extra time are included; penalty shootout goals do not count. If no goals are scored by any Argentine player, the No Goalscorer outcome resolves Yes. When two or more players tie for the most goals, Yes holders receive 1/N of their payout (rounded down to the nearest cent), where N equals the number of tied players. No holders receive $1 minus the Yes payout. Own goals are not addressed in the secondary rules and are presumed to follow standard FIFA conventions.

The Argentina: Goal Leader market resolves on Jul 20, 2026. Resolution is determined by the official final tally of goals scored by each Argentina player across the relevant competition period.
