FIFA president Gianni Infantino responds to criticism of hydration breaks introduced during World Cup matches. Multiple reports say the controversy centers on whether the planned breaks are appropriate and whether they should be used in the future. Infantino acknowledges the backlash and says FIFA will analyse its approach moving forward “based on this experience.” The reports describe the comments as a new update following public reaction, including criticism from teams and fans. One outlet highlights that the issue has remained unpopular for some supporters, with additional attention following England-related outcry. While the outlets agree that the breaks have drawn strong reactions, they frame Infantino’s response as a step toward reassessing tournament practices rather than immediately reversing the policy. Overall, FIFA’s position presented in the coverage is that it considers the feedback and will conduct an evaluation to determine how hydration breaks are handled in future competitions, with any changes expected to be decided after that review.
