Forecast of intense heat

  • According to information from ESPN, the thermometers are expected to reach highs of 43°C in the coming days, making the environment impractical for earlier training sessions;
  • During the night, despite a slight drop to around 28°C, the thermal sensation is still high due to the characteristic mugginess of the desert region;
  • Previously in Los Angeles, where the climatic conditions were more favorable, the Brazilian national team did not face difficulties in carrying out their training sessions during the afternoon;
  • The first training session in Las Vegas is scheduled for this Wednesday, at 11 pm (Brasilia time). On Thursday, the team will have their last training session in the city, also scheduled for 11 pm (Brasilia time).

Looking to the future

Brazil’s next challenge will be against Paraguay, on Friday (28), at 10 pm (Brasilia time), at the Allegiant Stadium. Currently, the Brazilian national team is in second place in Group D, tied with Costa Rica, while Colombia leads with three points.
