Vuvuzelas, trumpets made from a long plastic shell, are a staple of South African matches and took the world by storm at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
However, they were criticized for their sound.
Along with vuvuzelas, whistles, horns and other devices that produce excessively loud noise are banned from all 16 World Cup stadiums, according to FIFA’s stadium code of conduct.
Instruments that emit laser beams, laser pointers or similar emissions are also prohibited.
FIFA also banned spectators from bringing in reusable water bottles, citing safety concerns.
Visitors who break the rules may be refused entry or removed from the stadium, according to the code.
The 48-team expanded World Cup, hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico, runs from June 11 to July 19.
Mexico will open the tournament against South Africa on June 11.
