Controversy over World Cup hydration break
The "Hydration Break" was introduced at the 2026 World Cup as a preventive measure against heatwaves, where play is paused for three minutes in the middle of each half. This move sparked dissatisfaction among fans and drew criticism for disrupting the flow of the game and for its commercial aspect. These breaks elicited mixed reactions from supporters and coaches; some see them as beneficial for tactics and re-explanations, while others oppose them, arguing that they disrupt the fluidity of matches and diminish the enjoyment for viewers.
