The 2026 FIFA World Cup, set across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, is projected to be one of the hottest tournaments ever. Climate scientists warn that about a quarter of matches could exceed safe heat thresholds, posing dangers of heatstroke, dehydration, and reduced performance for players, while fans face heightened health risks in crowded stadiums. FIFA plans mitigation measures such as cooling breaks, shaded areas, and enhanced medical readiness. The event underscores how climate change increasingly threatens global sports, forcing organizers to adapt to protect athletes and spectators in a warming world. (Washington Post, May 14, 2026)
