FIFA has noted that misting stations, fans, hydration stations and cooling tents would be available in "the stadium footprint".
The co-hosting nations could build an extremely competitive lineup.
FIFA COO Heimo Schirg announced Friday that fans will be permitted to take a single water bottle into World Cup games hosted in the United States and Canada. A bottle must be factory-sealed, soft and no larger than 20 ounces.
Global icons Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Guillermo Ochoa are among the many stars taking part in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
