Paragraph 2
FIFA said more
will have a role in adding to the pre-match
. In the new ceremony, all squad members will stand around the centre
and sing their national anthem. Mr Infantino said: "Having all players and
face each other in the centre circle during the national anthems will create a
of unity, pride, and
that truly belongs to the teams and to everyone in the stadium." Other
of the pre-game ceremony remain unchanged. Team
will still participate in the coin toss and exchange pennants with the opposing captain. Another
kept for the 2026 tournament is players from each team shaking
with players from the other team.
