FIFA’s new hydration rule draws cheers, jeers at World Cup
For the first time in World Cup history, FIFA has made hydration breaks mandatory in every match, a sweeping player-safety measure introduced amid growing concerns that the 2026 tournament could become one of the hottest ever staged.
Yet while the policy is designed to protect athletes from dangerous heat-related illnesses, it has already drawn criticism from medical experts, coaches, players and fans who argue the breaks either do too little or disrupt the sport too much.
The three-minute stoppages, scheduled midway through each half regardless of weather conditions or stadium design, represent FIFA’s most aggressive attempt yet to address the challenges of playing elite football during increasingly extreme summer temperatures across the United States, Mexico and Canada.
The governing body says the rule ensures equal conditions for every team and builds on lessons learned during previous competitions, including last year’s Club World Cup in the United States, where temperatures frequently climbed into the 33 degrees Celcius (91.4 degrees Celsius).
But the initiative has quickly found itself caught between two opposing camps.
One side argues the breaks interfere with the rhythm and integrity of matches, effectively creating additional coaching timeouts. The other insists the stoppages are far too brief to meaningfully reduce body temperature or restore hydration when athletes are competing in severe heat.
“We’re really looking at this as a way to mitigate anything that could potentially lead to an incident or an emergency,” said Joshua L. DeVincenzo, assistant director of applied research services at Columbia University’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness.
Heat threat
Athletes competing in hot and humid conditions face the risk of exertional heat illness, a potentially dangerous condition that occurs when the body can no longer regulate its internal temperature efficiently.
The condition places significant strain on the heart, muscles, nervous system and brain. Early symptoms include fatigue, headaches, nausea, dehydration, dizziness, irritability, muscle cramps and declining athletic performance.
In more severe cases, internal body temperature can exceed 40.5 degrees Celsius (105 degrees Fahrenheit), leading to confusion, aggression, disorientation or unconsciousness.
According to Yuri Hosokawa, an associate professor at Waseda University’s Faculty of Sport Sciences, those symptoms are hallmark indicators of exertional heat stroke, one of the leading causes of death among athletes.
Hosokawa was among a group of scientists who urged FIFA before the tournament to adopt stricter heat-protection measures, including extending cooling breaks to at least six minutes.
Dehydration further increases the danger.
Athletes can lose between one and two liters of fluid per hour through sweat during intense activity in hot weather. Most fail to replace fluids at the same rate.
Research shows that losing just 2% of body weight through dehydration can noticeably reduce physical performance.
Ryan Calsbeek, a biological sciences professor at Dartmouth College, said human performance generally improves as body temperature rises, but only up to a point.
Beyond a critical threshold, performance declines rapidly.
“Your body starts to really fall apart,” Calsbeek said. “You lose the ability to cool off fast enough.”
He noted that when wet-bulb globe temperatures, a measurement that factors in heat, humidity, wind and cloud cover, climb beyond roughly 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius), the body’s cooling systems begin to struggle.
The consequences go beyond physical exhaustion.
Extreme heat can impair concentration, decision-making and tactical awareness, factors that can ultimately determine the outcome of a match.
“It’s these marginal differences in performance that can determine the outcome,” Calsbeek said. “Those small differences could play a critical role.”
Are three minutes enough?
FIFA’s cooling breaks are intended to give players and match officials an opportunity to lower body temperatures, replenish fluids and replace electrolytes lost through sweating.
The effectiveness of those three minutes, however, remains a subject of debate.
Experts recommend aggressive cooling methods during the breaks, including placing cold, wet towels on the head, neck, arms and back.
Douglas Casa, chief executive of the Korey Stringer Institute at the University of Connecticut, estimates that effective cooling procedures can lower body temperature by approximately 0.12 degrees Celsius per minute.
Still, Casa argues that three minutes severely limits what teams can accomplish.
Fluid intake presents another challenge. Some athletes can comfortably drink large amounts in a short period, while others struggle because the liquid causes stomach discomfort during intense exercise.
“The time dictates the volume of impact,” Casa said, explaining why many scientists have advocated extending breaks to five or six minutes.
Bharat Venkat, director of UCLA’s Heat Lab, said recovery needs vary from athlete to athlete.
“Depending on your body, you might need more or less time,” he said. “But those kinds of breaks are crucial so that your body isn’t just being forced to keep trying to play catch up.”
Fans push back
While scientists debate whether the breaks are sufficient, many supporters have questioned whether they are necessary at all, particularly during matches played in mild conditions.
The backlash became visible across several World Cup matches this week.
Loud boos echoed around Dallas Stadium during England’s Group L clash against Croatia when referee Clement Turpin halted play in the 22nd minute for the scheduled hydration break. Fans from both sides voiced their displeasure as players headed toward their benches.
The reaction was not limited to hot-weather venues.
In Toronto, where steady rain fell during Ghana’s 1-0 victory over Panama, supporters again booed as players left the field for the mandatory stoppage despite cool temperatures.
Panama coach Thomas Christiansen acknowledged the skepticism afterward.
“If you have a break, it’s to do corrections,” Christiansen said. “It was not hot, but we have to accept that the advertisers on television are paying for all these things.”
Similar reactions were heard a day earlier during Norway’s match against Iraq in Boston, where temperatures hovered around a comfortable 23 degrees Celsius (73 degrees Fahrenheit).
Iraq frustrated Norway before the break but conceded shortly after play resumed and eventually lost 4-1, adding fuel to complaints that the stoppages can alter momentum.
Critics have increasingly argued that the policy slows the game, disrupts its natural flow and creates additional opportunities for coaches to adjust tactics.
Others suspect the breaks conveniently provide broadcasters with extra advertising windows.
A glimpse into football’s future
Despite the controversy, many experts believe hydration breaks represent only the beginning of broader changes that sports organizations will be forced to make as global temperatures continue rising.
Adjustments to kickoff times, venue selection, match scheduling and player-protection protocols are likely to become increasingly common across professional sports.
“No matter what sport you play,” Venkat said, “there are going to be adjustments that have to be made in the face of climate change.”
Fenerbahçe have once again placed their trust in one of their own, appointing club legend Ismail Kartal as head coach for the 2026-27 season in a move aimed at restoring stability and reigniting their pursuit of a long-awaited Süper Lig title.
Kartal’s return, as announced on FV TV on Thursday, marks his fourth stint on the Fenerbahçe bench, reinforcing his unique bond with a club where he built his reputation both as a player and a coach.
Alongside Kartal’s appointment as head coach, the club also named Oğuz Çetin as the club’s football director.
The appointment follows the dismissal of former manager Domenico Tedesco in April after a costly derby defeat to archrivals Galatasaray effectively ended Fenerbahçe’s championship challenge.
Assistant coach Zeki Murat Göle guided the team on an interim basis until the club finalized its decision.
For many supporters, Kartal’s return feels less like a new appointment and more like a homecoming.
A respected figure throughout Turkish football, the 65-year-old has long been viewed as one of the club’s most loyal servants.
Known for his disciplined approach, strong man-management skills and deep understanding of the demands surrounding Fenerbahçe, Kartal arrives with a proven record of delivering results despite often working under intense pressure.
Born in Istanbul’s Anadolu Kavağı district in 1961, Kartal enjoyed a distinguished playing career, spending a decade at Fenerbahçe between 1983 and 1993. The right back made more than 230 league appearances, scored 15 goals and helped the club capture two league titles along with several domestic trophies. He also represented Türkiye at the international level.
After hanging up his boots, Kartal steadily built his coaching resume through youth-team roles, assistant coaching positions and managerial jobs across Türkiye.
His most notable achievements away from Fenerbahçe include leading Sivasspor to promotion as TFF First League champions in 2004-05 and guiding Ankaragücü back to the top flight in 2017-18.
His coaching journey has also included spells with Konyaspor, Rizespor, Gaziantepspor and Eskişehirspor, establishing him as one of the country’s most experienced domestic managers.
Yet it is at Fenerbahçe where Kartal has produced some of his strongest work.
His first full season in charge in 2014-15 delivered the Turkish Super Cup and a runner-up league finish. When he returned on an interim basis in 2021-22, he steadied the team and again secured second place.
His most impressive spell came during the 2023-24 campaign. Under Kartal, Fenerbahçe amassed 99 points, scored more goals than any other team in the league and remained unbeaten away from home throughout the season. Despite those remarkable numbers, they narrowly missed out on the title to Galatasaray, extending the club’s championship drought.
Although European success proved elusive, the team played some of its most consistent football in recent years and Kartal left with widespread praise from supporters.
Following a brief stint at Iranian powerhouse Persepolis in 2025, Kartal now returns to a club searching for direction after another period of managerial upheaval.
Since his departure in 2024, Fenerbahçe have cycled through high-profile appointments, including Jose Mourinho and later Tedesco. While both arrived with strong reputations, neither managed to end the club’s wait for a league crown.
The decision to bring back Kartal signals a shift toward continuity and familiarity rather than another high-profile gamble.
Club officials and supporters alike will hope his understanding of Fenerbahçe’s culture, expectations and competitive environment can provide the foundation for a sustained title challenge.
His teams have consistently posted strong points-per-game averages and are often characterized by defensive organization, tactical discipline and resilience in pressure-filled situations.
Türkiye and Paraguay face a decisive early test in Group D of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Saturday in San Jose, where both teams enter the second round without a point and under immediate pressure to avoid falling into a near-unrecoverable position.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 a.m. ET at a San Francisco Bay Area stadium.
The stakes are already clear after opening-day results tilted the group. The United States and Australia each sit on three points after winning their first matches, leaving Türkiye and Paraguay in urgent need of a response to keep qualification within reach.
Türkiye national football team arrive with a mix of frustration and belief after a 2-0 defeat to Australia that told two different stories. Türkiye controlled long stretches and produced 30 shots but failed to score, exposing familiar concerns about efficiency in front of goal at major tournaments.
Head coach Vincenzo Montella has overseen progress in qualifying and in Europe, but his side’s inconsistency on the biggest stage remains a growing talking point. Since last September’s heavy defeat to Spain in qualifying, Türkiye had shown strong form, yet that momentum has not yet translated into World Cup results.
This tournament marks Türkiye’s first World Cup appearance since 2002, when they finished third, but their recent record at elite competitions has been uneven, with repeated early exits a recurring theme. Another setback here would place them on the brink of elimination ahead of a final group match against co-hosts United States men’s national soccer team in Los Angeles.
Montella is expected to lean on his creative core to reset the campaign. Hakan Çalhanoğlu remains central in midfield, dictating tempo and set pieces, while Arda Güler offers the main attacking spark between the lines. Support is likely to come from Barış Alper Yılmaz and Orkun Kökçü, with either Kerem Aktürkoğlu or Deniz Gül leading the line.
There are still fitness concerns over Kenan Yıldız, who continues to be managed after a calf issue and may again be used sparingly off the bench.
Paraguay national football team also arrive in San Jose with urgency after a 4-1 defeat to the United States in their opener. The match was effectively decided in a difficult first half, with Paraguay conceding three times before improving after the break and briefly showing resistance.
A goal from Mauricio, set up by Julio Enciso, offered a response, but the damage was already done, leaving Gustavo Alfaro’s side with another uphill battle in a group where margins are already thin.
Paraguay’s World Cup record of slow starts continues to be a concern, with just one win in their last nine opening matches at the tournament. Still, there is confidence within the camp that their qualifying campaign, which included notable wins over Brazil and Argentina, reflects a side capable of competing when structured and disciplined.
Selection issues add further complexity. Gustavo Caballero is ruled out with a muscle problem, while Ramon Sosa remains doubtful with an ankle issue. Defensive stability will again rely heavily on Omar Alderete and captain Gustavo Gomez, with possible adjustments at fullback after a disjointed defensive display against the United States.
In attack, Paraguay will look to the creativity of Julio Enciso and Miguel Almiron to unlock Türkiye, with Tonny Sanabria leading the line after finishing qualifying as the team’s top scorer. Mauricio is pushing for a start after scoring off the bench, giving Alfaro another option in a front line still searching for rhythm.
Czechia and South Africa meet in Atlanta on Thursday knowing their 2026 World Cup hopes already hang in the balance after opening defeats in Group A, setting up a high-pressure clash at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Both sides arrive under immediate scrutiny after disappointing starts in North America, with zero points from one match leaving little margin for error in a group that is already beginning to take shape.
Czechia, back on football’s biggest stage for just the second time as an independent nation, saw their return unravel late in a 2-1 defeat to South Korea. Miroslav Koubek’s side had taken control in the second half when Ladislav Krejci rose to head in Vladimir Coufal’s long throw in the 59th minute, briefly putting them on course for a positive start.
But the lead did not last. Hwang In-beom quickly restored parity for South Korea, before the match slipped away from the Europeans. A Tomas Soucek effort was disallowed in a key moment, and Oh Hyeon-gyu struck in the 80th minute to complete the turnaround and leave Czechia empty-handed.
The defeat ended a six-match unbeaten run that had included four wins in normal time and two penalty shootout victories during qualifying. It also highlighted a growing defensive concern, with Czechia now without a clean sheet in their last five matches.
There is still a clear path forward. A win over South Africa would restore control of their qualification hopes, whether through the top two or as a strong third-place contender. History offers little guidance, with the only previous meeting between the nations ending 2-2 at the 1997 Confederations Cup.
South Africa, meanwhile, return to the World Cup stage for the first time since hosting in 2010, but their comeback began in chaos against Mexico.
Hugo Broos’s side were overwhelmed in a 2-0 defeat that exposed both defensive lapses and costly individual errors. Sphephelo Sithole’s turnover led directly to Julian Quinones’s early opener, before his dismissal for a last-man foul left South Africa a man down just four minutes into the second half.
Raul Jimenez added a second for Mexico in the 67th minute, and the night worsened further when Themba Zwane was sent off for violent conduct. Despite Mexico also finishing with 10 men after a late red card for Cesar Montes, South Africa never recovered.
The result extended a worrying trend. Broos’s team are now winless in six matches and have conceded multiple goals in each of their three defeats during that stretch. Their disciplinary issues and lack of control in key moments have quickly become defining concerns.
Still, there is a reminder of what this team is capable of on the World Cup stage. South Africa famously beat France 2-1 in 2010, and Broos will be hoping that history can offer inspiration as they attempt to avoid slipping toward another early exit, having failed to reach the knockout rounds in all three previous appearances.
Team news offers both managers key decisions.
Czechia are expected to remain unchanged after a stable start in terms of fitness. Koubek is likely to continue with his preferred 3-4-2-1 system, built around captain Tomas Soucek and Alexandr Sojka in midfield. Vladimir Coufal and Jaroslav Zeleny are set to operate as wing-backs, while Krejci keeps his place in the back three after adding another set-piece goal threat.
At the top end, Patrik Schick remains the focal point of the attack, supported by a system that continues to lean heavily on structured buildup and dead-ball efficiency. Krejci, in particular, has emerged as a growing threat, contributing to four goals in his last five international appearances.
South Africa face enforced changes following the suspensions of Sithole and Zwane, forcing Hugo Broos into a tactical rethink. Jayden Adams is expected to retain his midfield role, while Thalente Mbatha could join him in a double pivot as Broos considers shifting from a back five to a 4-2-3-1 setup.
That change could come at the expense of Nkosinathi Sibisi in defense, while Lyle Foster is expected to lead the attack alone. Iqraam Rayners may drop to the bench after starting in a front two against Mexico.
A domesticated duck named Merlin, dressed in a miniature Mexico shirt and custom duck socks, has waddled into the hearts of football fans and emerged as an unlikely unofficial mascot for the country’s World Cup campaign.
Merlin’s rise to fame began during street celebrations after the co-hosts’ 2-0 victory over South Africa in last week’s World Cup opener.
As supporters poured into the streets to celebrate Mexico’s goals, the well-dressed duck moved through crowds along Mexico City’s busy Reforma Avenue.
Onlookers captured the unexpected moment on their phones, and the footage quickly went viral, with fans soon calling for Merlin to be made Mexico’s official World Cup mascot.
“We are very respectful,” said his owner, street merchant Karla Gomez. “We respect the Mexico City mascot axolotl as much as the FIFA jaguar. We don’t like controversy, honestly.”
Gomez, who usually sells beverages on Mexico City streets with her son, Christian, and her duck, said they believed they had gone unnoticed.
“It was a normal day for us,” she said. “We thought we were passing by unnoticed because we never thought Merlin would have that boom.”
Now Gomez proudly embraces her role in the duck’s newfound stardom. Fans frequently stop the family to take selfies with the feathered supporter, who can also be seen cooling off in public fountains.
“I’m Merlin’s mom. I already consider myself as such,” Gomez said. “For us it has been a surprise, truly. The fact that Merlin is the unofficial mascot of the World Cup, we feel very pleased about such a situation and above all that people love my duck.”
Channeling the spirit of Paul the Octopus, Merlin recently tried his beak at match predictions, picking Mexico over South Korea when presented with both flags.
Mexico meet South Korea on Thursday in Group A before facing the Czech Republic on June 24.
Bosnia-Herzegovina head into a pivotal World Cup showdown against Switzerland on Thursday knowing a victory at Los Angeles Stadium in Los Angeles could place them on the brink of a long-awaited place in the knockout rounds.
After both Group B opening matches ended in 1-1 draws, the group remains wide open, turning the second round of fixtures into a potentially decisive moment for all four teams.
Bosnia-Herzegovina emerged from their opening match with plenty of encouragement after earning a hard-fought point against host nation Canada at Toronto’s BMO Field.
Sergej Barbarez’s side looked set for a statement victory when Jovo Lukic powered home a first-half header, but relentless Canadian pressure eventually paid off as Cyle Larin equalized with 12 minutes remaining.
Despite surrendering the lead late, Bosnia-Herzegovina were arguably the more satisfied side at the final whistle.
A point against the hosts represented a solid start to their campaign and extended an impressive unbeaten run that now stretches to nine matches. However, the draw also continued a peculiar trend, with each of their last six games finishing level after 90 minutes.
The Dragons now have an opportunity to take a major step toward qualification.
Reaching four points after two matches would leave them in a commanding position ahead of the final group stage fixture and significantly strengthen their hopes of advancing beyond the group phase.
Confidence should not be in short supply.
Bosnia-Herzegovina have faced Switzerland only once before and emerged victorious, claiming a 2-0 win in an international friendly in March 2016. While that result carries little competitive significance a decade later, it serves as a reminder that the Swiss are far from unbeatable opponents.
Switzerland, meanwhile, arrive in Los Angeles seeking a response after a frustrating start to a tournament in which they were widely tipped to top Group B.
Murat Yakın’s men controlled large portions of their opener against Qatar in San Jose and appeared on course for victory after Breel Embolo converted a penalty in the 20th minute. Yet their inability to turn dominance into additional goals proved costly.
The Swiss wasted several promising opportunities to put the match out of reach and paid the price deep into stoppage time when Qatar snatched a dramatic equalizer. The result left Switzerland with just one point and a lingering sense of missed opportunity.
Fortunately for the Schweizer Nati, the group remains perfectly balanced. With Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina also drawing their opener, no side gained an early advantage, keeping qualification firmly within Switzerland’s control.
Even so, Thursday’s contest carries added significance. Switzerland conclude the group stage against Canada in Vancouver, arguably their toughest assignment of the first round. Securing all three points against Bosnia-Herzegovina would ease pressure ahead of that encounter and could all but guarantee a place in the knockout stage.
It would also deliver a milestone result. Switzerland have never beaten Bosnia-Herzegovina and now have another chance to register their first victory over the Balkan nation.
Team news could play a key role in shaping the outcome.
Switzerland emerged from the Qatar match without any fresh injury concerns, giving Yakin the luxury of continuity. Defensive leaders Manuel Akanji and Nico Elvedi are expected to anchor the back line, while captain Granit Xhaka continues to dictate play in midfield. Embolo remains the focal point in attack after scoring the team’s opening World Cup goal.
However, attacking adjustments remain possible. Noah Okafor and Johan Manzambi are among the options pushing for starting roles as Switzerland seek greater efficiency in the final third.
Bosnia-Herzegovina face a slightly less certain situation. Veteran defender Sead Kolasinac limped off late against Canada, leaving concerns over his availability. His fitness will be closely monitored before kickoff, as his experience and physical presence are central to Barbarez’s defensive structure.
The Dragons have already suffered one significant setback. RC Lens defender Nidal Celik was ruled out of the tournament after sustaining an injury in training and has been replaced in the squad by Sturm Graz defender Arjan Malic.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup was supposed to be a celebration of football on an unprecedented scale. Instead, many supporters traveling across the United States, Canada, and Mexico say they are facing a different challenge: paying for it.
With soaring ticket prices, expensive flights, inflated hotel rates and sweltering summer temperatures, fans attending the tournament are calling it the costliest World Cup in history.
Outside stadiums and fan zones, supporters described the experience as unforgettable on the field but increasingly difficult on their wallets.
At the New York New Jersey Stadium, where nearly 80,000 fans packed the stands for Brazil’s group-stage match against Morocco, supporters joked that the “World Cup fever is burning through bank accounts.” Similar complaints echoed across tournament venues as visitors grappled with rising travel expenses.
The contrast was visible elsewhere. While New York drew a near-capacity crowd, attendance at Spain’s match against Cape Verde in Atlanta fell short of the stadium’s 75,000-seat capacity, with noticeable gaps in the stands despite an announced crowd of about 65,000.
Heat adds to the challenge
The financial burden is not the only concern.
The tournament has also become one of the hottest World Cups in recent memory, with many matches being played in temperatures exceeding 30 Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).
Fans gathering at outdoor viewing areas have been forced to seek shade wherever possible, relying on hats, umbrellas and cooling stations to escape the relentless summer sun.
Hotel prices surge
Accommodation costs have emerged as one of the biggest frustrations for traveling supporters.
In many host cities, hotel rates have doubled or even tripled during the tournament period. Budget travelers have found little relief, with average nightly rates at two- and three-star hotels frequently exceeding 300 euros ($340).
In major destinations such as New York, Miami, Dallas and Los Angeles, accommodation prices have reportedly risen by as much as 300% compared with normal periods.
Luxury hotels have become even less accessible, with many four- and five-star properties charging more than $500 per night. Short-term rental prices have also climbed sharply as demand continues to outstrip supply.
Expensive flights
Travel costs have also surged as fans move between the tournament’s 16 host cities.
For international visitors, the vast distances involved in a North American World Cup have created significant additional expenses.
Many participating nations are located thousands of miles from the host countries, resulting in longer journeys and higher airfare prices.
Domestic flights within the United States have also become considerably more expensive.
Industry estimates indicate increases ranging between 50 and 100% compared with last year, with routes into popular destinations such as Miami seeing some of the sharpest rises.
Ticket prices reach record levels
Nothing has sparked more criticism than the cost of match tickets.
Group-stage tickets at the 2026 World Cup average around $400, roughly five times higher than comparable prices at the 2022 tournament in Qatar, where group-stage tickets generally cost less than $100 and ranged between $11 and $220.
The increase becomes even more dramatic for marquee matches.
Opening-match tickets start at $560 and climb to $2,735, compared with a range of $55 to $618 in Qatar four years ago.
The final, scheduled for New York New Jersey Stadium, carries an even steeper premium. The cheapest ticket costs $2,030, while the most expensive reaches $6,370.
By comparison, tickets for the 2022 World Cup final ranged from $206 to $1,607.
Fans’ groups challenge FIFA
The growing frustration has attracted the attention of supporter organizations.
The Football Supporters Europe filed a complaint with the European Commission before the tournament, accusing FIFA of imposing excessive prices, unfair purchasing conditions and abusing its dominant position in the ticketing market.
The organization argued that access to World Cup tickets should be fair and transparent, particularly for supporters who may only have one opportunity in their lives to attend the tournament.
“A festival for the rich”
For fans hoping to follow their team throughout the competition, the numbers are staggering.
A supporter attending matches from the group stage through the final could spend more than $7,000 on tickets alone. Once flights and accommodation are added, the total cost can be several times higher than the expense of attending the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Many fans have responded with a common complaint.
“This is no longer football’s festival,” one supporter said. “It’s a festival for the rich.”
Even Donald Trump weighed in on the debate, expressing surprise at some ticket prices.
“More than $1,000 for a ticket,” Trump said. “I wouldn’t pay that.”
