Club World Cup encounters extreme weather, experts suggest FIFA put the World Cup final next year at 9 a.m.

During the

Club World Cup was held in the United States, it was interrupted due to extreme weather such as high temperatures and frequent encounters of thunderstorms, which caused concerns about the World Cup next year. Mike Tipton, a professor at the University of Portsmouth, said in an interview with the BBC that FIFA should consider scheduling the World Cup final at 9 a.m.

Tipton has worked with several athletes representing the UK, and he believes that if this heat occurs again in the future, adjusting the game time is the best and safest solution, and the World Cup final is no exception: "I will choose to move the game to a stadium with air conditioning and rooftops, and it is best to be held during the cooler time of the year. But now that we are in this situation, the only thing we can do is to choose a cooler time of the day to play. From a thermophysiology perspective, whether for health or performance, I recommend starting the game as early as possible."

"I understand that there are logistical limitations, but healthy The risks are not limited to players, but also referees and spectators, many of whom are far less physically than athletes. If all rational scientific data suggests that the game should be stopped, the organizers will bear a lot of responsibility. What may happen is that the format of the game will be completely changed. FIFA should think more about when considering when, where and how to play such a game, and it is not ruled out that the game needs to be changed to four quarters instead of two halfs. "

Although such suggestions may seem a bit unrealistic to some, after the "warning bell" of the Club World Cup, the player union FIFPro also called for more flexible response measures. Dr. Gutbach, the organization's medical director, said that in extreme heat, it should be considered to extend the halftime to 20 minutes to keep the player's core body temperature within the normal range.

FIFPro policy director Bielefeld said that postponing the game is more complicated in international events than in domestic leagues, but from a health and safety perspective, this must take precedence over commercial interests. FIFPro Secretary General Phillips revealed that FIFA has responded positively to their suggestions during the game and modified measures to deal with high temperatures in the game, such as adding drinking water and towels on the sidelines, increasing stoppage time and cooling time, but in some cases, such measures are still not enough.
