FIFA bans animals after Merlin the duck
The International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) announced the prohibition of all types of animals from entering the 2026 World Cup stadiums, except for trained service animals that assist people with special needs. This decision was enforced before the Mexico vs. Czech Republic match, when the unofficial mascot of the Mexican team, the duck "Merlin," was denied access by the organizing committee at the stadium gates. The measure aims to ensure safety and security in the stadiums and to prevent the exploitation of animals for entertainment or causing confusion among spectators and organizers.
