What the contract measures
These markets ask whether a specific country will be removed as a host nation of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The rules state that the market "will resolve to 'Yes' if FIFA announces the removal of the listed country as a host nation," and otherwise to "'No'" [1]. A qualifying announcement resolves the market immediately, and later retractions or alterations "will not affect the resolution of this market" [1].
The rules also set a deadline: if no qualifying announcement is made "by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET," the market resolves to "No" [1]. The provider's listed end time is 2027-01-01T04:59:00Z [1]. That timestamp is a provider field for the contract's close and does not describe a scheduled FIFA event. The resolution source is "official information from FIFA" [1].
Reading the snapshot
The provider observation time is 2026-10-16T06:00:05.833Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-16T07:20:52.283Z [1]. These prices describe that observation only and are not live quotes.
Six Polymarket markets from this event are included, and the sample is complete for the saved event: 6 of 6 markets are included and the sample is not partial [1]. The quoted Yes prices are:
- Portugal: 0.1265
- Argentina: 0.126
- Spain: 0.0815
- Paraguay: 0.0435
- Morocco: 0.0435
- Uruguay: 0.036 [1]
Within this snapshot, Portugal and Argentina have the highest quoted Yes prices, and Uruguay has the lowest [1]. Each market is a separate yes-or-no question about one country, so the prices should not be summed or treated as a single distribution. The rules do not indicate whether one country's removal affects another's, so the evidence does not support treating the markets as mutually exclusive.
Prices are not verified probabilities, and the evidence does not include volume, so it cannot speak to liquidity or how many traders hold each view. The snapshot also does not explain why any price is where it is.
What remains uncertain
The source notes that "All saved markets for these events are included. This does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome" [1]. Countries not listed here may exist in the wider real-world question, and their absence should not be read as a low price.
The evidence contains no news about any FIFA decision, no FIFA announcement, and no information after the observation time. Differences in price between these contracts should not be treated as an arbitrage opportunity without current, executable quotes and a full review of each contract's terms.

Overview
This PredictPedia contract asks whether FIFA will announce the removal of a listed country as a host nation of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The saved provider event, titled "Country To Be Removed as Host of 2030 World Cup?", resolves to "Yes" if such an announcement is made and to "No" otherwise [1]. Under the rules, a qualifying announcement resolves the market to "Yes" immediately, and later retractions or changes to that announcement do not alter the resolution [1]. If no qualifying announcement is made by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market resolves to "No" [1]. The stated resolution source is official information from FIFA [1]. The provider lists an end time of 2027-01-01T04:59:00Z, which matches that December 31, 2026 deadline in Eastern Time. This deadline is a rule of the contract, not an announced event date. The event contains one market for each of six countries: Portugal, Argentina, Spain, Paraguay, Morocco and Uruguay [1]. Each market asks whether that specific country will be removed as a host. The saved snapshot shows Yes prices ranging from 0.036 for Uruguay to 0.1265 for Portugal, with Argentina at 0.126, Spain at 0.0815, and Paraguay and Morocco each at 0.0435 [1]. These are snapshot prices from the provider, not executable quotes or verified probabilities, and they do not show how any market is expected to resolve. The Wikipedia article on the 2030 tournament describes it as scheduled to be the 24th FIFA World Cup and states that it is planned to be jointly hosted by Morocco, Portugal, and Spain [2]. It also notes that a special match and celebration are scheduled at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay, with one match each at Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Estadio Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb in Asunción, Paraguay [2]. These descriptions reflect the planning stated in that article when it was retrieved. They do not confirm any change to the host list.
Historical Context
The Wikipedia article on the 2030 tournament describes it as the 24th FIFA World Cup and says it marks the 100th anniversary of the first edition in 1930, with commemorative matches in Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Asunción [2]. A separate Wikipedia article on the 2034 tournament states that in December 2024, Saudi Arabia was formally confirmed as the host nation by FIFA following an uncontested bidding process [3]. That article is about 2034 and does not address the 2030 host list. The retrieved sources do not describe any prior removal of a host nation.
Why It Matters
The contract measures whether FIFA will formally announce that a specific country is no longer a host of the 2030 World Cup before the stated deadline [1]. Because the rules specify that a qualifying announcement resolves the market immediately and that later retractions do not change the result, the outcome depends on the timing and content of an official FIFA announcement rather than on media reports or later developments [1]. The Wikipedia articles provide background on the planned hosts and matches [2][3], but they are not the resolution source for this contract [1]. Traders reading the Yes prices should keep in mind that a snapshot price is a single observation at a given time, not a confirmed probability.
