Tuchel called on FIFA to change the rules for photographers at the 2026 World Cup
England head coach Thomas Tuchel criticized the photographers’ behavior during the 2026 World Cup match against Croatia.
According to the England coach, while the national anthem was being played, dozens of photographers completely blocked his view of the team, preventing him from seeing his players at a crucial moment before the start of the game.
Tuchel noted that he had been looking forward to this special moment for a long time, but the large number of photographers along the sideline ruined his experience of the ceremony.
The coach called on FIFA to review the placement of media representatives during the playing of national anthems before World Cup matches.

The 2026 World Cup hasn’t even started yet, but it’s already making history as the tournament with a record number of players aged 40 and older taking the field. Eight experienced players have made their national team rosters, which is more than in all previous World Cups combined.
As a reminder, the UAF is resuming the national U21 championship in Ukraine.
Also, a Turkish powerhouse is on the hunt for Dynamo’s top player.
