- Group Winner Markets: Bet on which team will top their respective group (A to F), ideal for those with strong opinions on the Group Stage draws.
- Best Player of the Tournament: Often correlates with a player from the winning or runner-up side (e.g., the last winner was William Troost-Ekong in 2023).
