Good luck to referee Anthony Taylor who is officiating the World Cup match between Colombia and Uzbekistan 🙌 The game is being played at Mexico’s iconic Estadio Azteca at an altitude of over 7,000 feet. Anthony has been preparing for these demanding conditions with pre-tournament training in the environmental chamber at Institute of Sport simulating heat, humidity, and altitude. Through high-intensity sessions and targeted recovery work they’ve sharpened their physical output and mental sharpness for the challenge ahead. #FIFAWorldCup PROFESSIONAL GAME MATCH OFFICIALS LIMITED, Manchester Metropolitan University Institute of Sport
