國際足聯最近承諾將在世界盃期間為32支球隊提供更多的液體攝入以抵抗席捲德國的炎熱。

　　“我們將各球隊提供更多的水，”國際足聯媒體主管Markus Siegler 説。

　　國際足聯有規定，不允許球員在比賽間隙飲水，英格蘭隊對此項規定十分不滿。尤其是在小組賽1比0勝葡 萄牙的比賽中，英格蘭隊甚至向國際足聯提出投訴。

　　國際足聯有關禁止球員在比賽間隙（包括球出界或球員受傷等）飲水的規定是為了防止球員以飲水為藉口故意拖延比賽。

　　BERLIN (AFP) - Football's governing body FIFA have promised to give the 32 teams at the World Cup more opportunity to take in fluids to combat the searing heat sweeping through Germany.

　　"We will make more water available to the teams," FIFA media director Markus Siegler said in Wednesday's edition of Die Welt.

　　England were furious at the regulations that prevented their players drinking water during breaks in their 1-0 group win over Paraguay and complained to FIFA.

　　ADVERTISEMENT

　　FIFA regulations refused to allow the intake of fluids when the ball went out of play or when a player was injured, fearing the game would be disrupted on purpose to ensure regular water breaks.
