DR Congo clash : England will face DR Congo in their World Cup 2026 round of 32 match and manager Thomas Tuchel will be able to get a good view of his players during the national anthems.
This is because FIFA changed their matchday rules after the German coach's plea.
Opening match friction : The issue first arose during England's 4-2 opening victory over Croatia at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Tuchel was highly frustrated because a massive scrum of media personnel completely blocked his line of sight during the pre-match ceremony.
Media obstruction : The Three Lions boss found himself standing directly behind a dense wall of roughly 50 photographers who were positioned just half a metre away.
