"Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen dressed as empty seats..."
Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match. FIFA works closely with stadium authorities and ticketing teams to ensure all published figures are based on verified operational data. Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match.
Community note
Photos from the match show thousands of empty seats throughout the stadium, contradicting the claim of only several fans in concourses. nytimes.com/athletic/73524… yahoo.com/news/world/art…

As the 2026 tournament kicks off, *The World Is Worried About The #WorldCup* @FIFAcom should heed fan groups from @3LionsPride to the @FootieMob to the Galactic Ambassadors, who say the World Cup should be a global celebration of soccer—not a cause for fear about abusive US immigration arrests, anti-LGBT policies, and ugly exclusion on the basis of nationality; My article in @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/minkyworden…

FIFA has u-turned on a u-turn. Some water bottles will be allowed at World Cup stadiums this summer, but the new rule does not yet apply to venues in Mexico. @AdamCrafton_ with more details (free to read): nyti.ms/4xcQnls

🗣 FSE's @RonanEvain on water at the @FIFAWorldCup: “In Europe, we see people collapsing in the stands from heatstroke more & more often... the more you complicate the access to water, the more the risk of people getting serious heatstroke & dehydration." theguardian.com/football/202…

“That shows the priority seems to be, again, to generate revenues. How immoral it is to [profit from] water in this situation when people’s health is at risk. I find this appalling.”

What next? Suncream banned and fans forced to buy it in stadiums? For all of the effort they are going to with ‘drinks breaks’ for the players, this is such a strange, late change. In all of our discussions, free water availability in stadiums was a key one and we were assured by FIFA that this would be the case, and that fans will have the ability to bring their own water bottle. The below graphic was shared. Naturally, the immediate thought from supporters is this is just the latest money-grab. For how hot the stadiums will be, many in open air, just let fans bring a bottle if they want to 🤷‍♂️ We hope the water fountains in stadiums will still be free, hopefully you aren’t charged in the queue!
Exclusive @TheAthleticFC FIFA make last-gasp change to World Cup stadium rules: BANNING fans from bringing refillable plastic bottles, so fans must buy water in stadia As of May, empty bottles permitted so fans could refill amid heat concerns. Not now nytimes.com/athletic/7331461…

Liverpool FC remembers the 39 football fans who lost their lives in Heysel Stadium, 41 years ago today. As always, our thoughts are with everyone affected by the disaster.
