6 New Techniques Preparing the Green Team for the World Cup

The Saudi Arabian national football team relied on an advanced system of medical and scientific technologies during its preparatory camp in Austin, USA, in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

The coaching staff, led by the Greek Giorgos Donis, utilized six modern methods aimed at enhancing the physical and mental readiness of the players before the start of the tournament.

The technologies included the "Climacool" smart cooling system, which helps players regulate body temperature and reduce the impact of hot conditions during training.

The team also utilized "strobe" light glasses, which help develop reaction speed and improve coordination between the eyes and movement during fast-paced situations.

The medical team monitors the players' physical loads using the smart "Polar" sensor, which measures heart rate, effort, and fatigue levels in real-time.

In terms of recovery, the team uses mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy to accelerate muscle recovery and reduce the effects of fatigue after intense training sessions.

The team also relies on the "Normatec" device for leg recovery, which helps stimulate blood circulation, reduce swelling, and accelerate physical recovery.

The system concluded with the use of photobiomodulation therapy, known as red and infrared light, to help regenerate cells and reduce inflammation.

The Green Team continues its preparations to face Uruguay early Tuesday as part of the first round of Group H, after leaving Austin and heading to Miami for the match.
