Heat has been a concern at major soccer events, including the World Cup. The 2022 tournament in Qatar was scheduled later in the year to mitigate this issue. A recent example of heat affecting soccer is the Club World Cup, which experienced a heat wave.
Temperatures rose into the 90s and above in many areas during the event. Further information on this topic is available from NBC DFW, including details on how North Texas is preparing to host World Cup games in the future.
