Press reports indicate that the Belgian national team has adopted a new system in its training sessions to cope with the extreme heat that most of the teams participating in the 2026 World Cup are suffering from.
The Belgian national team is in Group G along with Egypt, Iran and New Zealand.
The Spanish newspaper AS reported that the Belgian national team has put in place a new system to cope with America's hot weather, which is to include hot water baths and saunas in their training.
She stated that the aim of this strategy is to acclimate the players' bodies to the hot climate of Seattle, which is the venue for the match against the Egyptian national team.
These training sessions are intended to help the Belgian national team adapt to the hot midday sun, which is scheduled to coincide with the Egyptian national team's match.
Not only did the Belgian national team complain about the hot weather, but some other European teams also conducted intensive training to help their bodies adapt to the extreme heat.
The Egyptian and Belgian national teams had met four years earlier in a friendly match in preparation for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, a match described as one of the most unexpected encounters in the history of Belgian football.
