FIFA has announced that Spanish will be included in press conferences for the 2026 World Cup, allowing questions in Spanish after recent controversies involving players like Achraf Hakimi and Vinícius, who were unable to respond in Spanish during their pre-match press appearances. Historically, FIFA provided translators primarily for English, but the decision to include Spanish reflects the significant number of Spanish-speaking media and players familiar with the language. The change comes after players expressed a desire to answer questions in Spanish, highlighting the importance of accommodating diverse languages in international events.
