3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Morocco — the market puts it at 28%, closing 3 Aug 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Morocco wins the 2027 Men's Africa Cup of Nations. It resolves to No if any other team wins that tournament. Readers often mistake the linked news story about appointing a prime minister as relevant, but only the football championship result matters.
  • Morocco — the market puts it at 24%, closing 1 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if Morocco is officially announced as a host for the 2029 Men's FIFA Club World Cup and this fact is confirmed by any Source Agency. It resolves to No otherwise. Readers often mistake the CAS hearing about Senegal’s appeal as the deciding factor, but only the confirmation of Morocco’s hosting status matters.
  • France — the market puts it at 13%, with $116 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 15 Jan 2031. France must win the 2030 FIFA Men's World Cup for the market to resolve to Yes. The outcome depends solely on the final winner of that specific tournament. Readers often mistake the linked story about Zidane and Mbappe as a factor in the resolution, but only the World Cup title matters.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
