Water breaks at 2026 World Cup protect players or profit
The International Football Association (FIFA) has established mandatory water breaks during the 2026 World Cup matches, aimed at protecting players from the effects of high temperatures. These breaks, lasting approximately 3 minutes each, are scheduled at the 22nd and 67th minutes. Despite health justifications, these pauses have sparked widespread controversy due to their impact on the flow of the games and their resemblance to American sports, as well as their commercial exploitation through advertising during stoppages. The decisions have faced criticism from coaches and players, while others have supported them under extreme weather conditions.
