Kalshi
This market tracks whether Norway will be leading after the first 45 minutes plus stoppage time in their FIFA World Cup match against Iraq. On Kalshi, Norway winning the first half stands at 96.0%, while a first-half tie is at 4.0%. The market resolves based on the official result from the Iraq vs Norway match scheduled for June 16, 2026. Watch for team lineups and weather conditions announced on match day, as these factors typically influence early-game performance and could shift expectations heading into the opening whistle.

Three outcomes are possible: Iraq wins the first half, Norway wins the first half, or the first half ends in a tie.
