Mexico return luxury watches gifted by YouTuber — FIFA rules ban expensive gifts

Mexico's World Cup squad, co-hosts of the upcoming tournament, returned luxury watches given to players by a content creator, as FIFA regulations prohibit the acceptance of expensive gifts. The squad were preparing for their Sunday evening match against England when the story broke. The watches were handed back to comply with football's governing body rules.

Is FIFA right to ban players from accepting luxury gifts?
