More FIFA ⚽️ omnipotence (X & text) changing stadium names and taping over condiment labels [View all]

I heard the announcer last night at the Brazil - Morocco game at the Met Life (the Meadowlands) say “I’ve been told we are to refer to this as the New York New Jersey stadium” and I saw this post on X. Did I hear right? Is this true? Yes, of course it is, it’s FIFA.

FIFA brand restrictions go to new extremes with ‘taped over’ condiments at World Cup game

FIFA are well-known for wanting to keep their brand out in the open at the World Cup, but some of their restrictions are extreme to say the least.

We have seen stadiums like the Estadio Azteca renamed to the Mexico City stadium and the MetLife stadium to the New York/New Jersey stadium for the duration of the tournament.

To make matters worse, the items inside the media room aren’t even free of charge, with one journalist revealing the extortionate price they paid for food and drink during a game.
