The ban on refillable water bottles could increase the risk of dehydration for fans attending matches in high temperatures. Critics have raised concerns about the affordability and accessibility of water inside stadiums, especially given the exclusive partnership with Coca-Cola. Players and referees are also at risk, as extreme heat can lead to heat exhaustion or other health issues. The policy has been described by some fan groups as a 'money grab,' potentially prioritizing commercial interests over public safety.
