Heat experts warn 'reckless' Fifa of bottle ban health risk

Heat experts are warning Fifa of potential health risks due to a late policy change banning reusable water bottles from World Cup stadiums. The decision, made due to safety concerns, has been deemed "reckless" by some. Fans will no longer be allowed to bring their own refillable bottles into the stadiums, raising concerns about dehydration and heat-related illnesses. The ban may put spectators' health at risk, particularly in hot weather conditions.
