FIFA's Change in Photographers' Placement During National Anthems at World Cup

The English coach Thomas Tuchel has managed to get FIFA to change the location of the photographers during the national anthems at World Cup matches after publicly complaining about not being able to see his players before his team's debut in the competition.

Modification in the photographers' position

Following the victory of the 'Three Lions' against Croatia, Tuchel expressed his frustration at the large concentration of photographers in front of the bench, which prevented him from enjoying the emotional moment of the anthems. FIFA quickly responded to his request by agreeing to place the photographers closer to the halfway line during the national anthems, thus allowing a clear view for coaches and technical staff.

Adaptation of the AT&T Stadium

The AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL, was modified to host World Cup matches by raising the playing surface by 1.2 meters to meet FIFA requirements. This modification, although it reduced space on the sidelines, created limitations for both the technical staff and photographers during the pre-match protocol. Tuchel's request has brought about an organizational change by FIFA in the midst of the World Cup.
