FIFA sees no profit from drink breaks, president suggests they could stay

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has indicated that the organization does not generate revenue from the drink breaks implemented during football matches. He suggested that these intervals could be retained permanently in future tournaments. Infantino's remarks were made in a context discussing advertising and subscription options for accessing news content, implying a broader discussion about the commercial aspects of sports broadcasting and consumption.

The potential for permanent drink breaks has been a topic of discussion, particularly in major tournaments where high temperatures can affect player performance and safety. While Infantino's comments focus on the lack of direct financial gain for FIFA, the broader implications for match flow, player endurance, and fan experience remain subjects of ongoing debate within the football community.
