Cape Verde — the market puts it at 0%, closing 15 Jan 2031. The market resolves to Yes if Cape Verde wins the 2030 FIFA Men's World Cup. It resolves to No if they do not win that specific tournament.

Nigeria — resolved “Yes” on 21 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if an official report confirms a human case of Ebola in Nigeria between now and January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the start date for the deadline or confuse unofficial rumors with official reports.
