What the official site won't say

Bag policy (what gets denied vs what the rules say)

Published bag policies and what actually clears the gate are not the same document. The published WC2026 rule allows clear bags up to roughly 30cm x 23cm x 15cm, plus a small clutch. In practice, individual venue security at the larger stadiums (I watched it at Lusail in 2022 and at MetLife on a non-WC event in 2024) rejects anything opaque, anything with a metal frame, and any "clear" bag with internal pockets dense enough that the screener can't see through. Drawstring bags get waved through more often than backpack-shape clear bags of the same volume. Bring nothing you can't fit in a pocket or a single transparent zip pouch, and assume a 10 to 15 percent chance the line in front of you loses something the rulebook said was fine.
