Thomas Tuchel, England, FIFA
18 June 2026
FIFA has adjusted its World Cup anthem procedures after Thomas Tuchel complained that photographers blocked his view of England’s players before the 4-2 win over Croatia. Coaches can now move beside photographer huddles for a clearer view.
The issue came from tight sideline space at Dallas Stadium after the pitch was raised for football use. FIFA tested the compromise in Czech Republic’s match against South Africa, though England still wants further talks.
