FIFA enforces strict sponsorship rules, covering Beats and Levi's logos

FIFA has enforced strict rules against non-sponsor brands appearing at the World Cup, requiring players to cover up logos of unauthorized companies. This policy was recently applied to Bayern Munich player Jamal Musiala, who had to tape over the Beats by Dre logo on his headphones before a match. The organization also mandated that Levi's cover its logo at Levi's Stadium, which was repurposed for the tournament. Despite these restrictions, Beats has continued to leverage player social media to tease new, unreleased headphone models. AI
