Summary
FIFA has partially reversed its ban on reusable water bottles at World Cup matches, citing safety concerns. However, critics argue the ban increases risks of heatstroke and dehydration for fans, especially in hot climates, and raises environmental concerns due to single-use plastic waste. The decision has sparked debate between security protocols and fan welfare/sustainability.
