FIFA has been in communication with stadium staffs to address misunderstandings and confusion on entry policies.

Borussia Dortmund refused to have players sit on the bench directly in the sun in Cincinnati .

FIFA also released a statement last week regarding the extreme heat across the U.S. It adds to mounting concerns about player safety and fan welfare.

Fluminense fan Matt Benac sat with his back braced up against a concrete wall inside the stadium concourse.

Benac was among five sections of fans baking in the lower level where there's no escape from the sunlight unless intercepted by a cloud.

Despite the conditions, football loving fans will still show up for their favorite teams and pay the price of bottled water.
