Exploring hydration breaks in FIFA
I'm thinking about FIFA's discussions for 2025/2026 on hydration breaks during matches, but my last knowledge is from before the cutoff in October 2024. So I can’t verify recent updates. I do know that the IFAB Laws from the 2024/25 season allow for cooling breaks during high heat at the referee's discretion, with examples from past tournaments like Qatar in 2022 and Brazil in 2014. Plus, there's talk of sin-bins for dissent and changes to stoppage time. I’ll keep an eye on this!Considering hydration rule changes
I should present the report claiming a mandatory 3-minute hydration break mid-half and explain how this differs from the current law. I can also discuss potential impacts like timekeeping, added time, broadcast, and substitution windows. I plan to ask the user whether they want verification or a summary. However, I’m also unsure about the network stance and whether I can browse for more information. If necessary, I might need approval for web searches. Let's keep it flexible for the user!Drafting a response in Chinese
I should ask the user if they'd like me to fact-check the information. I want to keep it concise, so I'll acknowledge the headline and provide quick context in Chinese. I’ll summarize the current IFAB rules on cooling breaks and mention the implications if mandatory hydration breaks are implemented.
These could affect broadcast timings and tactical strategies, though they wouldn't add more substitution opportunities. I can offer to verify this against official sources. Let’s keep it simple and helpful for the user!
你这是看到一条新闻提要吧：称“明年世界杯每半场中段设强制补水3分钟”。
要不要我帮你核实来源/真伪，还是想看影响解读？简单给点背景先：
- 现行规则：IFAB 已允许在高温潮湿条件下由裁判决定“降温暂停（cooling break）”，一般90秒–3分钟，计入补时，但并非每半场固定一次。
- 若改为“强制、每半场固定3分钟”，就从“按天气由裁判裁量”变成“赛事统一规定”，会影响比赛节奏与转播编排，但不改变换人名额或次数，时间将计入补时。
- 2026 年世界杯在北美夏季进行，部分主办城/开球时段可能炎热，FIFA出台统一指引并不意外，但需要权威文件（FIFA/IFAB通告或竞赛手册）确认。
我可以：
- 立刻帮你查证原报道和权威文件，并给出要点与差异；
- 做战术与体能影响的简析（节奏、压迫强度、VAR/补时时长、转播窗口等）；
- 写一段给朋友群的科普解读版本。
