The World Cup is an event that takes place in the summer time, but what happens if the summer is so hot that it’s a health danger?
The 2022 World Cup is facing just this dilemma. The event is scheduled to take place in the Middle Eastern country of Qatar where the summers can get as hot as 50C! This sweltering weather is a chore to just stand in and could be fatal to play sports in.
As a result, doctors are being called to examine the temperature in the country during summer and decide whether or not it will be safe to play in. Qatar has stated that it plans to have air conditioning in all its stadiums, so players won’t be playing directly under the hot sun. There’s also a possibility of artificial clouds being created to bring down the temperature.
