Resolution Criteria
The 2026 FIFA World Cup takes place from June 11 to July 19, 2026. This market resolves YES if Norway wins the tournament (defeats all opponents through the final match). Resolution will be determined by the official FIFA World Cup 2026 final results, available at https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026.
Background
Norway qualified directly for the World Cup finals as group winners in UEFA qualifying. The 2026 FIFA World Cup expanded to 48 teams, with teams split into twelve groups of four teams, with the top two teams in each group and the eight best third-placed teams progressing to a new round of 32. The tournament will be jointly hosted by sixteen cities—eleven in the United States, three in Mexico, and two in Canada.
Considerations
Norway has not won a FIFA World Cup in its history. The tournament's expanded 48-team format means more teams advance from the group stage, potentially creating a more unpredictable knockout phase. Norway is drawn in Group I alongside France, Senegal, and a UEFA playoff winner.
