I don’t really believe in the World Cup curse. Looking at the past tournaments, the market performance was driven much more by macro conditions than football. The dot-com crash, Fed rate hikes, and earnings cycles mattered far more than what was happening on the pitch. Correlation doesn’t always mean causation.

What I do think is real is the impact on liquidity. With matches being played during U.S. trading hours this year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see lighter volumes and more short-term volatility. Traders are fans too, and attention is a limited resource.

My biggest winner is still the sports betting ecosystem. The World Cup is a massive customer-acquisition event, and companies like DraftKings, Flutter, Sportradar, and Genius Sports could see a surge in engagement. That said, I’m also watching prediction markets closely, as they may end up capturing a bigger share of the action than many investors expect.

World Cup Event: Which Team Are You Betting?
The 2026 World Cup kicks off — the biggest ever (48 teams, 104 matches, co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico) and one of the largest sports-betting events in history, with global wagers projected near $50 billion. Buying a stock is a bet on fundamentals; backing a World Cup team is a bet on form and heart — both are the same game of probability, odds and emotion. Brazil's attack, Argentina's title defense, France's stacked squad, England's "tournament curse"… everyone's got a side. So — which team are you betting to lift the trophy? And would you ride the betting stocks alongside it?
