After the heat-provision had dominated the American world cup in the American club, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said that covered stadiums will be used during the World Cup 2026.
“Every criticism we receive is a source for us to study and analyze what can be improved,” Infantino said To reporters at a media conference in New York. “… cooling breaks are very important and we will see what we can do, but we have stadiums with roofs and we will certainly use these stadiums during the day next year.”
The decision occurred on the Paris Saint-Germain vs. Chelsea Club World Cup final in Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, where the temperature is expected to be 83 degrees Fahrenheit at kick -off. But the humidity can feel it as 91 degrees Fahrenheit during the start time from 3 p.m. et.
Blues -midfielder Enzo Fernandez settled again at the heat during a media session during practice.
Some of the world’s best club football teams will participate in a tournament in a world cup style in the United States.
“To be honest, the heat is incredible,” Fernandez said Friday. “I recently got a little dizzy during a play. I had to lie on the floor because I was really dizzy. Playing in this temperature in this temperature in very dangerous.”
FIFAs Players’ Union, FIFPRO, gave the football body pre-tournament advice on postponing the club’s world cup time to kick off, but it was not taken over.
FIFPRO also said that extra heat restrictions can include the 20 -minute rest breaks instead of reducing the core temperatures of players, and cooling breaks in the game every 15 minutes. Breaks were only taken of each half in the 30th minute.
The Club World Cup also saw several thunderstorm delays with the matches on the east coast, with the Chelsea Benfica Round-of-16 match postponed with two hours.
“I think it’s a joke to be honest, it’s not football,” Chelsea head coach and so on Maresca had said. “It’s not for us. You can’t be inside [for so long].
“It is completely new, but I have trouble understanding it. I can understand that you have to suspend the game for security reasons. But if you suspend seven, eight games, it probably doesn’t mean the right place to do this competition.”
Specific plans are used when new covered stadiums are used or if a current non-covered stadium is being replaced, are not yet known.
