Join us for a webinar that takes you from the data to the pitch. We’ll unpack the science behind our latest analysis and explain how heat-trapping pollution is driving the odds of performance-impairing heat. We’ll explore which matches face the greatest risks and what hotter conditions could mean for player health, strategy, and the pace of play.
Mexico City, Mexico at Estadio Azteca - now referred to as Estadio Banorte. World Cup Heating Up: Then and Now. A decades-based extremely hot June-July days comparison from 1977-1986 to 2016-2025, highlighting the extremely hot days added by climate change. From, 1977-1986, 2 days were added due to climate change. From 2016-2025, 11 days were added - a total more than five times the number of days from just a few decades ago.
