The contract rules state the outcome will be determined by the player with the most goals scored across the entire tournament’s main competition. In the event of a tie, the final result will follow FIFA’s official ranking rules. If FIFA lists multiple players, the player with fewer penalty goals will be selected; if a tie remains, the player whose name comes first alphabetically will be chosen.
If the World Cup is canceled, or if no winner is determined by 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on August 2, 2026, the result will be classified as “Other.” The final outcome will be based on FIFA’s official announcements and may also reference market consensus formed from reports by credible media when necessary.
