What could move it
- The outcome is determined entirely by the 2026 World Cup result itself; no interim events can settle it early.
- Approaching the July 2026 deadline, injury or form shifts in contending nations could prompt repricing, but the fundamental uncertainty remains until the tournament concludes.
