FIFA's ban on reusable bottles undermines sustainability and sets a negative precedent for large events. | The decision to ban reusable water bottles at World Cup stadiums directly undermines global sustainability goals (SDG 12, 13, 14, 15) by promoting single-use plastic waste and contradicting FIFA's own recent environmental commitments. This action prioritizes logistical convenience over ecological responsibility, setting a regressive precedent for large-scale events.
