Fifa Bans Vuvuzelas From World Cup Stadiums
FIFA also banned whistles, air horns, laser pointers and reusable water bottles, citing safety concerns and noise limits at all 16 venues.
- FIFA prohibited vuvuzelas, water bottles, and other noise-making devices from all 16 World Cup venues in its stadium code of conduct.
- These plastic horns, a staple of South African soccer, gained global attention during the 2010 World Cup but drew criticism for their monotonous sound, often described as a swarm of bees.
- FIFA's code of conduct also bans whistles, air horns, laser pointers, and actions like streaking or removing clothing to expose intimate body parts.
- Attendees who violate these regulations face immediate consequences, including being refused entry or removed from the stadium according to the code.
- The expanded 48-team World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19, with Mexico opening the tournament against South Africa in a match echoing the 2010 event.
