Por qué importa
FIFA has a strict policy to prevent brands that are not official sponsors from appearing on World Cup fields and stadiums to protect its commercial agreements.
FIFA is known for having a strict policy about making sure brands, which aren't official sponsors and advertisers, don't appear on World Cup fields and stadium.
For instance, it recently made sure that Beats wasn't getting any free advertisement on the field and had Bayern Munich player Jamal Musiala literally cover the logo of his headphones with tape during warmup.
X user @iMiaSanMia posted a photo showing Musiala wearing headphones with a covered logo, reportedly at FIFA's request, before Bayern's match against Curaçao.
If you haven't heard yet, FIFA also had Levi's cover its logo with a tarp at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, which is being called the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium for the World Cup.
Levi's, of course, took advantage of the buzz around it and replaced its social media profile picture with a tarp-covered version of its logo.
