2026 World Cup Faces High Pollution
An environmental report highlights that the 2026 World Cup will be the most polluting since the tournament's inception 95 years ago, with emissions expected to reach 9 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. This is attributed to the expansion of the tournament and the increased number of matches, coupled with a heavy reliance on air travel, which accounts for approximately 86% of the total emissions. As a result, the carbon footprint rises by 92% compared to previous tournaments. Studies warn of direct impacts on the health of players and fans due to rising temperatures, with projections indicating that 6 out of 16 stadiums will face severe heatwaves. The report calls for urgent measures to mitigate the environmental repercussions of hosting the event.
