FIFPro Warns of Heat, Player Burnout Risks for 2026 World Cup

FIFPro, a group that represents soccer players worldwide, is worried about the 2026 World Cup.

They are concerned about the extreme heat during games and how it might harm the players.

They point to the recent Club World Cup as a warning, where players faced high temperatures and played a lot of games.

FIFPro wants FIFA, the main soccer organizer, to make changes like longer breaks and possibly using air-conditioned stadiums.

They also worry about young players playing too much too soon, which could cause injuries.

The main goal is to protect the players' health and well-being.
