No time for England to adapt to altitude - Tuchel
Wednesday, July 1, 2026
Thomas Tuchel stated that Mexico will have a "huge advantage" against England in their World Cup last-16 match due to the altitude at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. Tuchel said there is insufficient time for England's players to acclimate to the high elevation before the fixture. The Azteca Stadium sits at approximately 2,250 meters (7,382 feet) above sea level.
