FIFA World Cup Hydration Break

FIFA has launched a new policy for the 2026 World Cup, with 3 minutes of water break in both halves of all the tournaments. This decision is not for some matches or venues depending only on the weather. This design will be in all matches and venues.

The hydration break will be given in 22 minutes of every half. Whatever the weather, the ground is air-conditioned, but the two teams will get this break.

He also indicated that if Due to a similar injury to the 22-minute  the game If it stops, the referee can be somewhat shy, said Subbirita, ‘It will be a decision for the referee according to the situation.’

The last World Cup was also a hydration break, but it would have only exceeded 38 degrees Celsius when the temperature exceeded 30 minutes. This time the change came because the club World Cup was having to play hard on the field in the United States due to the excessive heat of the U.S. The FIFA cold or water break temperatures were reduced in the tournament and more water and towels were supplied around the field.

Excessive heat in football tournaments has been a problem for a long time, and the Brazilian court ordered FIFA to make a hydration break if the 2014 World Cup was aroused, otherwise he would have faced a fine.
