The entry window has closed. The World Cup kicks off today.
We’ve made the draw. 48 brokers have been randomly selected from all eligible entries and each assigned one of the 48 nations competing in the tournament. From here, it’s in the hands of the football.
The broker whose team wins the World Cup wins a PlayStation 5 and FC 26, worth over £500. The broker whose team finishes runner-up wins a case of wine.
