England's men's football team, training in Girona, Spain under coach Thomas Tuchel, is preparing for the challenging conditions anticipated at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. As they train, players will be tested in simulated hot and humid environments using heated tents, allowing performance and recovery assessments. Tuchel emphasizes the importance of understanding the climate's impact on the players, expressing that 'suffering' due to heat will be a significant theme of the tournament. England remains strong, leading their World Cup qualifying group after winning initial matches.
"It is important to see matches now in America, and in Miami at three in the afternoon. I will see that. How it looks, and we need to understand how to cool the players down."
"Suffering is one of the headlines for this World Cup. I will be very surprised if we do not suffer."
