In an unusual scene, the substitutes of the German Bayern Munich team were forced to follow their match against the Portuguese Benfica from inside the locker room instead of the bench, due to the high temperatures experienced at the 'Bank of America' stadium.

A picture spread across the X platform showing the Bavarian giants' substitutes in the locker room watching the match against Benfica, in the third round of the group stage of the Club World Cup, due to the intense heat in the stadium.

This measure is part of the safety plan adopted by the medical staff of the German club, especially amid growing concerns about the impact of high temperatures on players during the tournament, which is held in extremely challenging weather conditions.

The tournament organizing committee had already approved break periods during each half, allowing players to drink water and use wet towels for cooling, but the hot weather on this day necessitated additional measures from some teams.
