Two World Cup matches were played in ‘severe heat’, analysis finds
Games in Miami and Monterrey were at heat level a players’ union had warned in the past should trigger delays
Two of the first round of matches at the World Cup were played at a level of severe heat that a football players’ union has previously said should trigger the delay or postponement of games, a Guardian analysis has found.
A further four games were played in cities with temperatures also beyond that level of heat, though conditions inside the stadiums were mitigated by air conditioning.
