YES

With the current conflict around the Rubiales kiss, the female soccer team for Spain refuse to play until he is removed from his position. Will this conflict be resolved by their next game?

Cause for YES resolution:
– The game is played as planned, with the default squad. The coach does not have to still be Jorge Vilda.

Causes for NO resolution:
– The game is cancelled, for any reason including walkover
– The game is moved to another date than Sep 22nd
– At least 3 players (total) of the Spanish or Swedish 2023 World Cup squads refuse to play the game
– At least 3 players (total) of the Spanish or Swedish 2023 World Cup squads are banned from playing, by either FIFA, UEFA, or the Spanish football association
– ... other unforeseen significant disruption to the game.

I will not bet in this market.

What happens if there are pitch invaders trying to stop the game in protest but they are arrested and play continues? I think that's probably the most likely interruption.

@SteveSokolowski good question, although it seems unlikely to me.

I would resolve that YES if the game can continue on the same night, and the other criteria for YES fulfilled. It doesn't seem to get to the spirit of the question, which is more focused on squad protests.

I would say more than 3 players. Definitely possible to get that with just retirements

@KevinBurke I wouldn't file that under "refuse to play", but rather "without significant interruption" because of retirement being business as usual.

Idk, maybe I could've phrased it better but at least I'm not in the market.
