Market context

Côte d'Ivoire will face Ecuador in the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on 14 June, with the match settling this market at YES if the Ivorian side wins in regular or extra time. The 33% implied probability reflects Ecuador's recent competitive record and Côte d'Ivoire's inconsistency at tournament level, though both nations qualified for the expanded 32-team format. Ecuador reached the 2022 World Cup knockout stage and has maintained a stronger CONMEBOL qualifying position historically, whilst Côte d'Ivoire qualified through African playoffs and has not advanced past the group stage since 2014.

For programmatic traders, the key dependency is squad availability and injury status, particularly for Ecuador's attacking players—updates typically emerge through official federation announcements and club injury reports in the weeks preceding the tournament. Côte d'Ivoire's preparation will depend on whether their European-based contingent (notably players from Ligue 1 and the Premier League) complete their domestic seasons without significant injuries. Conditional order logic should account for late-stage friendly match results in May and June, which often shift market sentiment; these fixtures serve as final fitness tests and tactical indicators. The settlement window closes at match conclusion, making real-time monitoring of team sheets essential for traders holding positions into the final hours.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
