This market centers on the 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage fixture between Switzerland and Canada, with attention focused on how many corner kicks the two teams combine to force across the full ninety minutes of play. The pairing is a notable focal point because it sets a patient, possession-minded Swiss side against an aggressive, transition-heavy Canadian team that presses high and attacks down the flanks, a contrast in tempo that shapes expectations for how much sustained attacking pressure and wide play the encounter produces. Traders are assessing the likelihood that the match generates a high combined corner count rather than a controlled, low-pressure affair, weighing both teams' attacking intent and use of the wings against their ability to keep the game compact and territorial.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: The market resolves YES if the combined number of corner kicks taken by both teams is more than nine — that is, the combined tally is 10 or more. It resolves NO if the combined total is nine or fewer (0 through 9). There is no Tie outcome for the result itself; a Tie applies only under the postponement and cancellation conditions in Rule 5.

2. Definition of "Total Corners": The total is the sum of all corner kicks awarded to and taken by either Switzerland or Canada in the official match statistics over regulation time, defined as the 90 minutes of normal play plus any referee-added stoppage time in both halves, ending the moment the referee signals full-time. A corner is counted only once it is actually taken; a corner that is awarded but not taken (for example, because a half or the match ends before it is played) does not count. As this is a group-stage fixture, no extra time is played; only corners taken within regulation time count toward this market.

3. Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source: Sportmonks API (https://www.sportmonks.com/) for the official full-time result and corner-kick statistics. Secondary sources for corroboration: ESPN, BBC Sport, Soccerway, FlashScore, and the official FIFA website (fifa.com). The official FIFA match statistics are the definitive record in the event of any discrepancy.

4. Resolution Timing: The market resolves the moment the official full-time corner statistics are confirmed on Sportmonks, with no additional waiting buffer. Trading may already be closed or paused under Rule 7; all open positions are locked through to resolution.

5. Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If the match is postponed, suspended, cancelled, or abandoned before full-time, the market remains open during a 12-hour waiting period to allow the fixture to be completed. If no eligible completed full-time result exists more than 12 hours past the scheduled kickoff, the market resolves to Tie, and all positions settle at $0.50 per share. Partial statistics from an abandoned match are ignored unless the fixture is officially resumed and completed within the waiting window, in which case the final regulation-time statistics are used.

6. Ambiguities and Disputes: In the event of conflicting corner-count reports between sources, the official FIFA match statistics take precedence. If the primary source (Sportmonks) is unavailable at resolution time, a consensus of at least two secondary sources is used. Any result under active official protest or review remains unresolved until FIFA issues a final ruling.

7. Trading Window and Pause: Trading remains open throughout the match, from kickoff until the referee signals full-time. Because the combined corner total can only rise, the YES outcome (more than nine corners) becomes irreversibly determined the moment the tenth corner of the match is taken; at that instant trading is paused immediately and all open positions are locked through to resolution. The NO outcome (nine or fewer corners) cannot be locked before full-time, since a further corner always remains possible, so trading continues to full-time and then locks pending resolution.
