This event group determines which national team will score the most total goals across all matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Markets are offered across three platforms with individual binary questions for each nation, plus catch-all 'Other' or 'another country' options to cover all possible outcomes.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
All three platforms use identical resolution criteria, tie-breaking hierarchy, cancellation provisions, and FIFA as the sole authoritative source.
Primary resolution logic:
Official FIFA World Cup records and announcements
Core resolution logic:
Resolution is based on the nation that records the most total goals through all rounds of the 2026 FIFA World Cup competition
In the event of a tie in total goals, the market resolves according to the official leader as determined by FIFA World Cup rules
If multiple nations are announced as leaders by FIFA, the market resolves to the nation that advanced farther in the tournament
If advancement is also tied, the market resolves to the nation listed first alphabetically
If the 2026 FIFA World Cup is cancelled, postponed after August 2, 2026 11:59 PM ET, or no official leader is declared within that timeframe, the market resolves to 'Other' or 'another country'
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Tournament Cancellation: If the 2026 FIFA World Cup is cancelled or postponed beyond August 2, 2026 11:59 PM ET, all markets resolve to 'Other' or 'another country' depending on platform terminology
Tie in Goals: First resolved by official FIFA designation; if multiple leaders exist, resolved by tournament advancement; if still tied, resolved alphabetically by nation name
No Official Leader Declaration: If FIFA does not officially declare a leader by August 2, 2026 11:59 PM ET, markets resolve to 'Other' or 'another country'
Placeholder Nations: Polymarket and Predict include placeholder options ('Country A', 'Country B', 'Country C', 'Country D', 'Country E') which will resolve based on the actual nation that scores the most goals; these are catch-all categories for unforeseen participants
Timing:
Resolution occurs after the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament and official FIFA announcement of the top-scoring nation, with a hard deadline of August 2, 2026 11:59 PM ET for official leader declaration
