This market will resolve to “Yes” if any goalkeeper scores a goal in any match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Goals scored (including penalties) during regular time, stoppage time, or extra time count. Goals scored by a goalkeeper from a penalty shootout do not count. Goals ruled as an own goal will not count. The scorer must be a goalkeeper as officially recorded by FIFA. If the 2026 FIFA World Cup is cancelled, postponed after August 2, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or it cannot be determined whether a goalkeeper scored within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source for this market will be official information from FIFA; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Goalkeepers scoring remains exceptionally rare in World Cup matches due to their primary defensive role, limited time spent in the attacking third, and the high level of organization in modern international soccer. Historical data shows only isolated instances across decades of tournaments, reinforcing trader consensus reflected in the 95.3% implied probability for no goals by keepers. Recent form and roster trends further support this, with teams prioritizing specialized shot-stoppers over attacking contributors in goal. Realistic scenarios that could still shift outcomes include late-game corners or free kicks where a keeper ventures forward, a penalty awarded in stoppage time, or an empty-net opportunity during added time, though these require precise circumstances and have low historical frequency.
