The market price adjusts continuously as new information emerges—team news, injury reports, or shifts in tournament expectations—allowing you to enter or exit positions at any time before resolution. Your profit or loss depends on the price you trade at relative to the final outcome.

This market resolves around Jul 20, 2026, once the 2026 World Cup concludes and final goal tallies are verified. The outcome is determined by comparing Haaland's total goals scored in the tournament against Álvarez's total. If Haaland finishes with more goals, the 'yes' outcome wins; otherwise, 'no' prevails. Resolution is confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting of official tournament records.

Major catalysts include squad announcements and injury updates for both players' national teams, as well as pre-tournament friendlies that hint at starting lineups and tactical roles. During the World Cup itself, early-round performance, playing time patterns, and team advancement will drive sharp repricing. Unexpected injuries, managerial changes, or shifts in international form could also shift trader conviction. Media narratives around each player's form heading into the tournament may trigger significant volume and price swings.
