PHILADELPHIA — Global footballers' union (Fifpro) on June 30 called for longer half-time breaks at the 2026 World Cup to mitigate the effects of extreme heat, saying challenges faced by players at the ongoing Club World Cup should be a "wake-up call" for Fifa.
Conditions have often been brutal for players at the Club World Cup due to the heat across much of the United States, with coaches of several teams complaining about the challenges posed by the temperatures.
With the 2026 World Cup across North America on the horizon, a Fifpro study warned that six of the 16 venues for the tournament present an "extremely high risk" of heat-stress injury for players — including Miami, which is one of the cities hosting games at the Club World Cup.
