1. Can I bring a camera into a World Cup stadium?

Small personal cameras are acceptable, but professional recording equipment, tripods, monopods and selfie sticks are prohibited.

2. What happens if I arrive with a banned item?

Gate staff will point you to external storage where it exists or ask you to discard the item before entry.

3. Can I bring baby formula for an infant?

Baby formula and sterilised water are permitted when accompanying an infant, though the bag carrying them must still meet the clear bag standard.

4. How do medical exemptions work?

Medication and medical liquids need a doctor's certificate in English, French or Spanish, presented at the entrance with the person they are for.

5. Do all 16 stadiums apply the same rules?

The Stadium Code of Conduct applies at every venue across all three host countries, with security staff holding the final say on any item.
