FIFA is definitely for the “right storm” of unprotected conditions in major events such as 2026 World Cup, according to Peter Crisp from the fossil -free football and the environmental advocacy group from the environmental advocacy group fossil -free football.
After the Bavaria Munich, after losing to Benfika at a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius (97 Fahrenheit) at Club World Cup in Charlotte in the US city on Tuesday, Crisp told DW that the recent day has been discovered, which is fully predicted for the global governors of football.
“It was a very clear risk. It only saw a letter on the previous wetr records of those cities that show that the dangerous heat was to affect the tournament, and therefore proved it.
Bavaria’s coach Vincent Company referred to the “difficult situations” in the post -match press briefing, which is a positive of loss, which has still seen bayern progress, is “we no longer need to play in Charlett.”
Players are not able to perform their best
Unknowingly, for the German champion, issues have not been limited to a city, with a climate phenomenon known as “heat dome”, looking at the record-high temperature recorded in the East of the United States.
On Saturday, in Cincinnati, it was Borusia Dortmund who struggled to deal with 32-degree heat. The picture of his option was sitting away from the pitch in an air -conditioned elasticity room, attacking a raga with players, clubs and fans. Dortmund’s coach Nico Kovak said he was “sweating as if I had just come out of a sauna” and that it was “getting difficult for both teams”, while more allegations were made to find the conditions, accepting the Micomei Sundown of South African opponents.
The company said the conditions made it impossible for the players to play their maximum.
“I was a bit undone about the heat and pitch. I was not worried that we would not win, I was more worried about the flow of the game,” the Company said.
The pace of sports has been normal in the tournament, players attempted to conserve energy, a criticism that has been rapidly leveled in the World Cup in recent years.
In a statement sent to DW, FIFA said that it first included anyone’s health and worked with clubs and local health officials to deal with any threat.
FIFA said that protocols are sufficient
“FIFA is applying a sound preventive concept to all locations, which includes cooling brakes in the 30th and 75th minute, which is according to the relevant protocol,” the statement stated that fans can bring fans to bring fans again to the stadium.
“From a comprehensive player from the point of view of welfare, the teams can make an additional replacement if a match goes into time (whether the team has used their maximum number of options or not), as well as a consent replacement. recovery. ,
Football, including large-nam players, coaches and Global Players Union, FIFPRO, believes that three rest days are not enough for players who thank you for the introduction of the club World Cup, which is usually a period of comfort in the calendar for most teams, is asked to play and travel more than before. Indeed, Ferfro has initiated legal proceedings against FIFA, partly on the basic that: “Overdated International Football Calendar Risk Player Security and Goods.”
Crispp sees a change for scheduling as an easy first step, questioning the logic of playing the game in the afternoon when Copa in the US fell due to a day -long summer in the US in the last June. Large changes in the calendar may have to follow well.
Why play in the hottest part of the day?
“I think FIFA needs to think seriously about modifying the protocol to move the kickoff time for a safe period of the day.” But unfortunately, in the rapid heating world, the small adaptation measures of those types are real that are only playing around the edges. “
Leg asked the question directly, FIFA did not say what are the scenes for their future tourists in Club World Cup Wild Pisces. The sixteen cities are to host World Cup Games in the United States, Canada and Mexico in 2026. However, only stadiums will be used that has roofs to provide some protection in the tournament to be played at the same time as the year.
“I think 2026 is almost an ideal storm, where FIFA has decided to expand the competition on a large scale, pushed it into 104 matches, meaning that it is very likely that many people of the interaction competition have increased such a huge amount of flight, so that millions of fans join their teams and travel across North America.”
Baby toast tournament
The next two men’s World Cups are to be played in Spain, Portugal and Morocco (2030) and then Saudi Arabia (2034). Both thesis countries may be expected to be equally hot conditions at the relevant time.
The impact on the environment, the safety of the players and the quality of the Games are evident for many in the Club World Cup, but FIFA Boss Gianni Infantino is quite happy with its new competition.
“Those who are not there, of course, would like to live there. So, perhaps some people criticize it a little, but something new, it’s something, it’s something like something like the best teams and the best players with the best players,” Hey on Sunday.
