FIFA has confirmed a ticketing glitch on its official website gave dozens of fans free World Cup 2026 tickets, and the governing body has now demanded that supporters pay for the tickets or lose them.

World Cup Fans Barred from Bringing Water Bottles into Stadia

FIFA has banned fans from bringing refillable water bottles into World Cup 2026 venues in a last-minute policy change that will force thirsty supporters to pay for bottled water inside the stadiums. As recently as last month, FIFA's official stadium code of conduct included a clause which read: "For the avoidance of doubt, empty, transparent, reusable plastic bottles, up to 1 liter in capacity, may be brought into the Stadium." However, those guidelines have now been tweaked to explicitly ban refillable bottles. The updated stadium code of conduct now states: "For the avoidance of doubt, reusable water bottles may not be brought into the stadium." Other bottle types are similarly banned due to the potential risk of injury if thrown. In a statement to AFP, a FIFA spokesperson said the rule change was taken on safety grounds, noting that several […]

Norwegian Football Federation Asks FIFA to Probe Trump Peace Prize

The Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) has asked FIFA's ethics committee to investigate the world football governing body's award of a peace prize to US President Donald Trump, arguing that the decision breached FIFA's political neutrality rules. The NFF announced on Tuesday that it formally requested the ethics committee to look into the circumstances surrounding the award, which was given to Trump during the World Cup 2026 draw in Washington D.C. on December 6, 2025. The NFF President Lise Klaveness said the decision broke FIFA's rules on political neutrality as Trump is a sitting political leader. "We do not think it's part of FIFA's mandate to give such a prize. We think we have a Nobel Institute that does that job independently already," Klaveness stated during a roundtable discussion with international media. "We think it's important for football federations, confederations, and […]

Full List: FIFA New Rules Ahead of 2026 World Cup

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has announced nine major rule changes that will be implemented during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off on June 11 across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The amendments aim to tackle discrimination, cut time-wasting, enhance match tempo, and improve both player and fan experience. 1. Red Cards for Covering Mouths During Confrontations A player who conceals their mouth with their hand, arm, or shirt during confrontational moments will now receive a red card. This rule is designed to prevent players from hiding their lips during racially abusive exchanges, making it easier for referees to identify and punish discriminatory behavior. However, players who cover their mouths during casual, friendly exchanges with teammates from opposing teams will not face penalties. 2. Red Card for Protesting by Leaving the Field Any player who exits […]

Ancelotti Says Relaxed About Neymar World Cup Availability

Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has said he remains relaxed about Neymar's availability for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite the 34-year-old forward suffering a Grade 2 calf injury that will sideline him for two to three weeks. The injury setback came at a time when the 2026 World Cup kicks off in exactly two weeks, with Brazil's opening match against Morocco scheduled for June 13 in New Jersey.

"We're not swapping anyone out; the chosen players are these 26, and these 26 will play in the World Cup." Ancelotti most […]
