FIFA reverses policy, now permits Spanish in all World Cup press conferences
FIFA reversed its policy and now allows Spanish to be used in all press conferences during the World Cup, including matches played in the United States where no Spanish-speaking teams are involved. The controversy began when Vinicius and Achraf Hakimi were not permitted to answer questions in Spanish before the Brazil vs. Morocco match in New Jersey, and continued with Frankie De Jong ahead of the Netherlands match.
