Two World Cup games played in intense heat

Two of the first-round matches at the 2026 World Cup were played in conditions classified as ‘severe heat,’ with wet-bulb temperatures exceeding 28°C, which past warnings suggest should lead to game delays or postponements. Despite measures like later kick-off times, heat mitigation techniques, and stadium air conditioning, the tournament has faced concerns over dangerously high temperatures, the impact on players and fans, and environmental effects. Fifa states it is monitoring conditions and has protocols in place to respond to extreme weather, aiming to protect health and safety amid record-high heat and climate-driven challenges.
