By now, every team knows how much travel they will face while playing their first, and possibly just three, games. You can also estimate how much heat will affect it.<\/p>\n<p>Even Canadian coach Jesse Marsh, whose team is playing in Group B and will be north of the border in Toronto and Vancouver, is taking weather into consideration. Canada will open the season in Toronto against the winners of the European playoffs, and since that game is at 3 p.m., it will probably be pretty hot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to make sure our players are healthy,&#8221; Marsh said. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to make sure they&#8217;re adaptable to whatever the weather is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Heat has long been an issue at the World Cup. of <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">Qatar 2022 Games<\/span> As such, it was played later in the year. The last time the World Cup was held in the United States in 1994, matches were played primarily during the day. While this was convenient for European television viewers, it could result in sweltering heat in places like the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>More than 30 years later, the venue is not being used for the 2026 World Cup. Instead, games in the Dallas area will be held at AT&#038;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The home of the NFL&#8217;s Cowboys has a retractable roof. The same goes for the stadiums in Houston and Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>SoFi Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood, California, has a roof, but air can enter from outside. With five games scheduled for the afternoon, SoFi is a place where temperatures could rise.<\/p>\n<p>Heat could also be a concern at Mexican venues such as Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Estadio Akron in Guadalajara and Estadio BBVA in Monterrey. American soccer fans are well aware of how harsh both the temperature and altitude of Aztec can be for visiting teams. However, this year&#8217;s tournament will have almost all matches played at night at three venues in Mexico.<\/p>\n<h2>data<\/h2>\n<p>Here are the group stage matches where heat is most likely to be an issue at kickoff. This is based on a 30-year average of Accuweather&#8217;s &#8220;RealFeel&#8221; temperatures. Arlington, Houston, and Atlanta are not included because of their roofs.
