Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to "Yes" if any credible news outlet, official medical report, or tournament statement confirms that a spectator, player, or staff member fainted specifically due to heat-related illness or exhaustion linked to high wet-bulb temperatures during any 2026 FIFA World Cup match.

The event must be attributed to heat or humidity conditions within a stadium hosting a 2026 World Cup match. If no such reports are verified by the conclusion of the final match of the 2026 tournament, the market will resolve to "No."

Background

The 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, will take place in June and July 2026. Wet-bulb temperature—a measure that accounts for both heat and humidity—is a critical metric for heat stress, as high humidity can inhibit the body's ability to cool itself through sweat. While many host venues are located in regions that can experience significant summer heat, the majority of matches will be held in stadiums with climate control or retractable roofs. Concerns regarding extreme weather conditions have been a recurring topic in discussions surrounding the impact of climate change on major sporting events.
