World Cup Fans Banned From Bringing Refillable Water Bottles Into Stadiums

Supporters have criticised the decision due to extreme heat expected.

Fans at the World Cup won't be allowed to take refillable water bottles into stadiums - after FIFA made a late change to its policy.

The governing body says the move's been made to "prevent risk and injury to players and attendees".

Supporters groups have criticised the decision due to the extreme heat expected at some venues.

Ticket holders had previously been told they could take an empty bottle to games.
