Helpful Tips for the Organiser

Keep a Master Sheet: As soon as a team is drawn, write down the player's name next to that country immediately. People will forget who they drew.

Create a Group Chat: Send out regular updates after the group stages and knockout rounds to stoke the banter, especially when a massive favourite gets knocked out early by a dark horse.

World Cup 2026 Sweepstake Organiser Guide

Gianni Infantino

A World Cup sweepstake is a classic way to get everyone involved, whether they are die-hard fans or people who don't know what offside means.

This years competition has a record 48-teams competing for the 2026 World Cup, so the maths changes slightly from the old 32-team version, but setup is just as easy.

Here is a step-by-step guide to running one perfectly:

Step 1: Set a Buy-In / Prize Pool
Before you draw teams, decide how much it costs to enter. This creates your total prize pot.

Low Stakes: £2 or £5 per team (good for the workplace).

Medium Stakes: £10 or £20 per team (good for the Whatsapp group and family).

Examples prize pots:
48 teams at £10 each creates a £960 total prize pot.
48 teams at £10 each creates a £480 total prize pot.
48 teams at £5 each creates a £240 total prize pot.
48 teams at £2 each creates a £96 total prize pot.

Step 2: Figure Out the Player Allocation

Because there are 48 nations, you need to adapt based on how many people want to play:

Exactly 24 people? Everyone gets 2 teams.

Exactly 16 people? Everyone gets 3 teams.

Exactly 12 people? Everyone gets 4 teams.

An awkward number of people (e.g., 18 or 30)? Allow people to buy as many individual tickets as they want until all 48 teams are assigned. If you have teams left over at the end, you can pool them together as "The House" (if the House wins, everyone gets their entry money back).

Step 3: The Draw (The Fun Part)

Print out your FourFourTwo sweepstake kit and cut out all 48 team names.

Fold them up and put them into a hat, bowl, or mug.

Have players draw their teams blindly. If you are running it remotely, you can film yourself drawing them or use an online randomiser tool, but doing it live always adds the best drama (especially when someone draws a favourite like Spain or a massive long-shot like New Zealand).

Step 4: Split the Prizes

Don't just give all the money to the person who wins the tournament—spreading the prizes keeps more people interested for longer. A standard 48-team payout structure looks like this:

1st Place (World Cup Winner): 60% of the pot

2nd Place (Runner-up): 25% of the pot

3rd & 4th Place (Losing Semi-Finalists): 5% each of the pot

The Wooden Spoon (The worst team): 5% of the pot (Give this to the team that finishes 48th with the worst goal difference/most goals conceded in the group stage to keep the underdog owners cheering!).
