England Prepares for 2026 World Cup: Tuchel's Squad Tests in Heated Tents in Girona
As England prepares for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, the national squad is training in Girona, Spain, using heated tents to simulate the extreme heat and humidity they could encounter during the tournament. Thomas Tuchel and the Football Association performance staff are analyzing players' fitness and recovery in these hot conditions, with tests on exercise bikes and assessments of their hydration and cooling methods. Tuchel revealed that he expects his players to "suffer" in the tournament's conditions and plans to travel to the Club World Cup this summer to evaluate the conditions. The 2026 World Cup could see temperatures exceeding potentially dangerous levels at 14 of the 16 stadiums, with Dallas experiencing more than 80% of June and July days above 28C. England, currently top of Group K in World Cup qualifiers, will face Andorra and Senegal in upcoming fixtures.
