United States brace for unrelenting heatwave, with calls to stay safe • FRANCE 24 English

An unrelenting heatwave across the US is forcing everyone, from local outreach teams to World Cup organisers to completely pivot, with the struggle to stay safe on the street and on the fields as temperatures rise. The heat isn't just a crisis on the streets - it is also hitting the sports world. Paraguay and France are scheduled to face off in a World Cup match in Philadelphia, where temperatures are forecast to hit 38 degrees Celsius, increasing risks of heat related illness, and adding far more pressure to the game.
