How will Japan's J-League cope with the heat wave. The prestigious J-League got the idea from the Club World Cup.
Japan's Football Zone reported on the 30th that `Ura and Reds have installed free water supplies to prevent heat stroke.'
The heat that afflicts soccer in summer. East Asian countries such as Korea and Japan, which implement the Spring and Autumn Festival, have no choice but to endure the summer heat. Soccer officials have also spoken together to point out the difficulties of the summer weather. The heat wave, which has no special solution, has hampered each team. Even after the heat wave special warning goes into effect, the game must proceed, and players must play more than 90 minutes. Even if you endure it, you can't stand the intense heat every year. They are eager to cope with the situation at the league and club level, such as active rest and cooling breaks.
However, it is the soccer fans who have another difficulty in the process. The hot sun can be avoided by the game at a relatively late time, but the summer heat is also a considerable problem for fans. In some cases, some fans have suffered from heatstroke in the stadium.
Urawa, a prestigious J-League team, chose a plan to cope with such an extreme heat wave. Found an idea at the Club World Cup. The Football Zone said 'Urawa installed a free water supply at the stadium in a home game against Fukuoka on the 27th.'" According to a Urawa official, there was a case of prolonged halftime in a game against Sapporo in July last year, and many supporters complained of heat stroke at the time. The measures were discussed.'
Then 'Urawa checked the water supply inside the stadium during the Club World Cup. With this as a hint, we decided to introduce it this time. It was implemented as a measure to reduce heat stroke in the stadium to zero. In addition, policies to prepare for heat stroke will be implemented by installing mist fans, selling drinks, and operating half-time food stores. The water supply in front of the press box also showed several fans lining up at half-time. It can be said to be meaningful in that it is an environmental improvement that cares about health. A lot of clubs are looking for help.
The efforts of East Asian leagues to cope with the heat wave are increasing. Attention is focusing on how the water supply team implemented in the J League will work.
