Analysis
This market is pricing a 95% probability that Iran will qualify for and participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled for June-July 2026 in the United States. Iran must finish in a qualifying position within their confederation (AFC) during the ongoing World Cup qualification rounds. The high probability reflects Iran's historical participation record—they've qualified for six of the last eight World Cups—and their relatively strong position in the current Asian qualification stage. The main uncertainty centers on Iran's recent performance trends, competition from other strong AFC teams, and the remaining qualifying matches over the next few months. The decisive factor will be the outcomes of remaining AFC qualification fixtures through late 2025 and early 2026, which will determine which teams advance. Iran currently occupies a qualifying position but faces ongoing competition from regional rivals.

How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
