All World Cup matches to have hydration breaks
The Island
|December 10, 2025
Every match at the 2026 World Cup will have three-minute hydration breaks in each half.
-
Fifa said the measure is being introduced to "prioritise player welfare" and will happen in matches regardless of the weather conditions "to ensure equal conditions for all teams, in all matches".
The referee will stop the game 22 minutes into each half to allow players to rehydrate.
With the tournament taking place across the US, Canada and Mexico in June and July 2026, experts warn that high temperatures, wildfires and even hurricanes could affect teams, fans and stadium workers.
