World Cup: FIFA introduces new pre-match ceremony for squad players

FIFA has announced a revised pre-match ceremony for the 2026 World Cup: all players on the matchday squad, not just the starting eleven, will walk onto the pitch through a dedicated arch alongside youth escorts and gather around the center circle for the national anthems.
