England captain Harry Kane believes the current heatwave at the ongoing Club World Cup in the United States will serve as an ideal preparation for him ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Recall that the 31-year-old scored his first goal of the tournament as Bayern Munich overcame a resolute Boca Juniors side to reach the knockouts with one game to spare.
Despite temperatures across the United States set to soar over 40 degrees in the coming days, Kane brushed off any concern and insisted it will be a “great experience” as they target World Cup glory next summer.

“It’s part and parcel of football, you have to be able to adapt,” he said.
“This is great experience for me and some of the other England guys who are going to be playing next year in the World Cup.
“It’s something special about these World Cup games, and next year will be the same. When you come off that pitch and you’re sweating and you’re dripping and you’re cramping and you’ve given everything on the pitch.
“There’s a special kind of feeling inside, especially when you win. That’s what we had today.”
