Summary
FIFA’s 2026 World Cup water policy flipped from “bring your own empty bottle” to “no bottles allowed” — sparking outrage from fans and city leaders who called it a profit-driven cash grab, especially with scorching games ahead. Mayors in Toronto and New York raised alarms over inflated prices. But after massive backlash, FIFA reversed course, now letting fans bring one factory-sealed, soft-plastic 20-ounce disposable bottle — no longer empty, no hard-sided containers or outside food allowed. U.S. and Canadian stadiums are covered; Mexico’s rules remain TBD. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
