Asian league players request season start change due to 42.5°C heat
The Korea Football Players Association has called for restructuring the Korean league season to be held during autumn and spring instead of summer, in order to reduce the impact of severe heatwaves which have recorded record temperatures reaching 42.5°C. These conditions have led to game stoppages and a decline in spectator attendance. The association confirmed that the proposed changes will help protect players from heat-related injuries through better scheduling of matches and modifications to stadium infrastructure, such as installing heating systems and improving turf quality. A survey conducted by the association indicated that 86.2% of players feel that heatwaves significantly affect them, with dizziness and dehydration ranking as the most common symptoms experienced during matches. This underscores the need for measures to adapt to climate change.
