No More Vuvuzelas: FIFA’s Strict 2026 World Cup Stadium Rules

FIFA has banned vuvuzelas from all venues at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The plastic horns now join whistles, air horns and other noisemakers on the prohibited list. The new regulations also bar laser pointers and reusable water bottles. Body paint and temporary tattoos won’t count as clothing, and anyone who strips or tries to streak will face immediate removal. The expanded 48-team tournament runs from June 11 to July 19. South Africa opens against co-hosts Mexico at Estadio Azteca, so Bafana Bafana supporters will need quieter ways to back their team.
