Many national teams participating in the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, are considering allowing reserve players to watch matches from the locker room due to abnormal hot weather conditions.
This was reported by "The Touchline" publication on the "X" social network account.
According to the source, if such a situation occurs, when a team wants to make a substitution, the assistant coach will go from the substitutes' bench to the locker room and send players to perform warm-up exercises.
Previously, FIFA imposed an obligation on referees to allow two breaks per match for players to drink water.
The World Cup will start on June 11. In the opening match of the tournament, the Mexico national team will face the South African national team./Oxu.Az
