Resolution Criteria
If the first song performed during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show scheduled for July 19, 2026 at New York New Jersey Stadium is the song ''Like Animals'' as performed by any of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS) (i.e., its recognizable melody or lyrics sung), whether performed in full, in part, in a medley, or in a mashup, provided it is at least reasonably begun, then the market resolves to Yes. This market pertains to the first qualifying song performed during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show performed by any of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS). If none of the songs listed in this event are the first qualifying song performed during the Halftime Show, all markets in this event will resolve to No.
CLARIFICATION: For purposes of this Contract, the following are not eligible to be the first song and are disregarded when determining the first song, regardless of when they occur: national anthems, the FIFA Anthem or other governing-body or tournament anthems, official tournament songs not performed by any of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS), walk-on or entrance music, interstitial or transition music, and any background, or venue music not performed by any of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS). Only qualifying songs performed by any of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS) in accordance with this Contract are counted in determining the first song.
The performance must be confirmed by official sources including setlist archives, official tour programs, livestream recordings, or post-event press materials issued by the artist or event organizers. Full or partial live performances count as performed if the song is at least reasonably begun. Medleys count each song as performed in the order they appear. Interludes, band instrumentals while the singer talks, rehearsals, sound checks, and unconfirmed performances do not qualify. If multiple performances occur within the time period, the ordering is determined within that specific time period. Encores continue the count from the main set unless the contract explicitly specifies otherwise (e.g., "first song of encore"). This market will close and expire early if the performance occurs and the setlist is confirmed.
