FIFA has announced a sweeping crackdown on fan equipment for the 2026 World Cup, prohibiting vuvuzelas, whistles, air horns and any devices that emit laser beams inside stadiums across the United States, Canada and Mexico. The ban also covers behaviors such as streaking or exposing intimate body parts, and it bars spectators from bringing reusable water bottles into venues, citing safety concerns. According to the tournament’s code of conduct, body paint and tattoos are not considered clothing, and officials reserve the right to refuse entry or remove anyone who violates these rules. The restrictions come as the first 48‑team World Cup prepares to kick off on June 11, with Mexico scheduled to open against South Africa in a match that will set the tone for the tournament’s global reach.
