Serbian Concerns Over Extreme Heat Ahead of Hapoel Be'er Sheva vs. Red Star Match

Hapoel Be'er Sheva is currently hosting Red Star Belgrade in Hungary for the first leg of their third-round Champions League qualifier, a match relocated from Israel due to security concerns. Despite entering the game as underdogs, the Serbian media's main focus is the intense heat, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Serbian outlet Mondo described the conditions as "hot like hell," while Sportklub called it "torturous" and difficult for playing football. Europe is experiencing another heatwave, with Belgrade itself recording temperatures around 38 degrees Celsius. In contrast, Be'er Sheva's local temperature is significantly cooler at 27 degrees Celsius. The match's relocation and extreme weather conditions are key factors impacting the teams' preparations and performance.
