BAD IDEA
Can World Cup players overheat during matches?
Yes, even superathletes can cook themselves under extreme heat and exertion during World Cup matches.
Despite being in peak physical condition, World Cup players can indeed overheat during matches, especially in hot, humid climates or wearing heavy gear. Their bodies produce tons of heat when sprinting and battling on the field. That's why hydration breaks, proper cooling strategies, and medical staff are standard fare at these events — the 'beautiful game' turns ugly if the players roast themselves alive.
