FIFA bans refillable water bottles from World Cup stadiums despite original rules stating otherwise

FIFA’s rules for match days across the United States, Mexico and Canada for the World Cup are much more strict than regular sporting events, and that only continued on Thursday.

With just one week until the first match kicks off, FIFA has now banned refillable plastic water bottles from being allowed inside stadiums.

This is a turn from the original rules, which stated refillable bottles were allowed if the weather was hot enough to justify it. Now, FIFA is saying no bottles no matter the case.
