Infantino Considers Keeping Hydration Breaks at Future World Cups

FIFA President Gianni Infantino says the federation will keep hydration breaks for future World Cups after the recent criticism of extra stoppages. The breaks, first introduced in 2014, aim to protect player health in hot conditions.

Officials argue the pauses do not disrupt the flow of the game and provide essential recovery time. A final decision is expected before the 2028 tournament.
