FIFA has banned refillable water bottles from World Cup stadiums, reversing earlier regulations that permitted them. The decision impacts fans attending matches, including the final scheduled for July 19 in New Jersey, where high temperatures are expected.
This policy change comes despite previous rules indicating that refillable water bottles would be allowed, raising concerns among attendees about hydration during games held in hot weather conditions. The ban applies to all stadiums hosting World Cup matches, limiting spectators' ability to carry reusable containers for refilling.
