🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: FIFA's last-minute ban on reusable water bottles at 2026 World Cup stadiums has sparked criticism that commercial interests are being prioritized over fan comfort and safety.
· FIFA reversed its earlier policy that allowed empty, transparent reusable bottles, saying the ban is needed to reduce the risk of bottles being thrown and causing injuries. The rule now applies across all World Cup venues.
· Supporters' groups and fan advocates argue that limiting personal water containers could increase the risk of dehydration and heat-related illnesses, especially with several matches expected to be played in hot summer conditions.
