FIFA has announced a ban on “inappropriate” displays of affection, including passionate kissing, at the 16 stadiums hosting the 2026 World Cup across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The decision has sparked controversy, particularly in the US, where the “Kiss Cam” is a popular fan tradition. Alongside kissing, smoking, offensive gestures, and gambling are also prohibited within the stadium grounds. Organizers aim to maintain a respectful environment for all attendees. The new regulations are part of a broader set of stadium rules intended to ensure a positive fan experience. This move signals a stricter approach to fan behavior at the tournament. Details regarding enforcement of the new rules have not been fully clarified.
