During the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the Vietnamese football team will reside and train in Dubai - the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Located in the south of the Persian Gulf of the Arabian Peninsula, Dubai is the economic center of the UAE, known as one of the richest and most luxurious cities in the world. During the competition and training here, the Vietnamese players will enjoythe best services.
However, a downside is that the climate in this city is quite harsh. Dubai is located right in the Arabian desert, so the climate here is very hot and arid desert. Summer in Dubai is extremely hot, windy and dry, the average summer temperature during the day is about 41 °C and at night it drops to about 30 °C.
In Dubai in recent days, the temperature has been consistently high, around 49°C. The temperature measured on June 8 was 46°C. This level of heat is considered extreme, which can be harmful to human health. People here are advised to carry umbrellas when going outside and avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Many people living in the UAE said that this is the hottest summer they have ever experienced and they are required to work and stay indoors.
Fortunately, in Dubai, air conditioning is installed everywhere, so life for the people as well as the national teams participating in the World Cup is less difficult and harsh. However, because they are not used to the climate and often have to practice under the sun, fans are very worried that the Vietnamese team may have health problems during the competition.
For now, we can see that our young players are performing very well in the last two matches away from home. The Vietnam team will continue to play two more matches in the UAE on June 11 (against Malaysia) and June 16 (against UAE) in the 2020 World Cup qualifiers before returning home.
