ICYMI: Full List Of Items Banned From World Cup Stadiums

A full list of items banned from World Cup stadiums has emerged.

NewsRain Nigeria reports that FIFA officials have warned fans about all the items banned from stadiums.

All prohibited items will be confiscated, but some could lead to you getting detained if you try to bring them in.

While the list includes commonly banned items such as weapons and explosives, there are some on the list that fans may not realise are prohibited.

Beach umbrellas, inflatables, selfie sticks, and folding chairs are some of the unexpected items on the list that will be confiscated if found in your possession at the stadium entrance.

Food, drinks, cans, and bottles are also banned from the stadiums.

Fans are permitted to bring in one empty clear plastic bottle, up to a litre, to fill up once inside.

“Excessive noise instruments,” including air horns and vuvuzelas, are also a no-go.

Anyone travelling to the stadium should be aware that only clear bags are permitted, or non-clear wallets smaller than 6.5 x 4.5 inches.

Those carrying purses, backpacks, and large bags will be turned away, and there is no bag check on offer at the stadium either.

Some items may also incur harsher punishment than just being confiscated.

Fans caught with any form of pyrotechnic, including fireworks, flares, and smoke bombs, will be ejected from the stadium, arrested, and possibly even prosecuted.

Vapes, too, are strictly prohibited in the stadiums across three host countries, but any fans travelling to Mexico should exercise even more caution.

The country has a nationwide ban on smoking items, and airport security will be on the lookout for anyone trying to bring a vape into the country.

While one vape may only lead to a fine and confiscation, bringing in multiple devices could lead to much larger fines and the possibility of a prison sentence.

The full list of prohibited items includes:

• weapons of any kind, including for self-defence, such as tasers or pepper sprays
• explosives or detonators
