Access to drinking water inside the stadiums is also a concern.<br \/>FIFA said measures such as hydration stations would be in place to help attendees deal with the conditions.<br \/>\u201cFIFA works closely with each Host \u2060City Committee and local authorities on heat mitigation factors for fans travelling to the stadium, which \u2060can include resources such as misting stations, \u2060fans, hydration stations, cooling tents and more around the stadium footprint,\u201d the statement said.<br \/>\u201cInside the stadium footprint, pricing for water bottles for the FIFA World Cup 2026 will remain \u200cconsistent with other events held at each stadium.\u201d<br \/>The 48-team World Cup, cohosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, will run from June 11 \u200cto \u200cJuly 19.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/><em>The FIFA World Cup begins on June 11.
