World Cup 2026: England cautious not to suffer from deep fans in Mexico

Ahead of the World Cup in 2026, England have taken precautions to ensure players' rest is not disturbed by noisy fans in Mexico. The Tomas Dugel-led side will face Mexico next Sunday (Monday 01:00 BST). The team arrives in Mexico City on Friday, so they stay in the capital for two days before the match.

Ecuador reported to FIFA that their team could not sleep because of noisy Mexico supporters in Mexico's last round of 32 match. The Ecuadorian team suffered as Mexican supporters chanted loudly, used banjos and motorcycles near the team hotel. England prefer to keep their location a secret, but fear that information will be leaked on social media. Consequently, UK soldiers and personnel, if they do not bring their own sleep-inducing devices (earplugs or sleeping pads), will be provided with natural sleeping pills or white noise audio machines.

Arriving two days earlier is a change, as England normally travel a day before the match. But FIFA mandates that teams hold a semi-open practice session the day before a match. England used to train in Kansas for this, but now they have decided to train in Mexico.

இங்கிலாந்து, மெக்சிகோவில் உள்ள உயர்நிலை ஆழத்தில் விளையாட வேண்டும் என்பதற்கான மற்ற சவால்களை எதிர்கொள்கிறார்கள். மெக்சிகோ நகரம், சராசரியாக 2,240 மீட்டர் உயரத்தில் உள்ளது, இதனால் காற்றில் ஆக்ஸிஜன் குறைவாக உள்ளது. இது சில வீரர்களின் செயல்திறனை பாதிக்கக் கூடும், குறிப்பாக அவர்கள் இந்த நிலைக்கு பழகவில்லை என்றால். இதற்கான காரணமாக, மெக்சிகோ, இதுவரை நடைபெற்ற உலகக் கோப்பை போட்டிகளில், மூன்று போட்டிகளை ஆழ்நிலைகளில் நடத்தி இருக்கிறது.

"Depth is going to be a big distraction because we can't disrupt the body," Dugel said. "We cannot destabilize the body to this depth, which will be a great weakness for Mexico. It takes more time to destabilize the body. We only have three days. It is impossible to destabilize the body. We have the determination to face this situation."
