Kalshi
During the 2026 Men's FIFA World Cup, this event concerns which player will score the first goal for Portugal (excluding own goals).
The market resolves Yes for whichever Portuguese player scores the first legitimate goal for the country during the 2026 Men's FIFA World Cup. Own goals are excluded from consideration; if Portugal's first credited goal is an own goal, resolution is based on the next goal credited to Portugal that is not an own goal. Goals scored during regulation time, stoppage time, and extra time all count toward this market. Goals scored during penalty shootouts do not count. Any player who does not score the first qualifying goal resolves to No, regardless of whether they participated in any match. If no Portuguese player scores a goal throughout the tournament, the No Goalscorer outcome resolves Yes.
