Heat stress in the World Cup

It’s going to be hot in North America as the World Cup 2026 starts this week. But the level of heat will vary over time and city, which means teams will experience varying levels of heat depending on when and where they play. Bloomberg crossed the forecast with playing schedule to estimate the heat stress for each team.

Tunisia, France, and Ghana will play in the hottest temperatures. Uzbekistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Spain will play in the coolest temperatures, including the sweet air-conditioned stadiums in Atlanta and Houston.

I’m saving this for later. I wonder if this affects performance in the end.
