How the sweepstake works

Each of the 16 players put in €20, making a total pot of €320. Every player was randomly drawn 3 teams from the 48 teams at the 2026 World Cup.

🏆 €200 — Outright winner: Whoever has the team that wins the World Cup final takes home €200.

🥈 €80 — Runner-up: Whoever has the team that loses the World Cup final wins €80.

🥄 €40 — Wooden spoon: Awarded to whoever has the single worst-performing team in the draw. Each player's 3 teams are compared individually — the player whose worst team has the fewest points (then goal difference, then goals scored) wins the consolation prize of €40.
