England prepares for altitude challenge against Mexico in World Cup

England is set to face Mexico in the round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup on July 5 at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The altitude, which is 2,240 meters above sea level, poses a considerable challenge for the English team. Head coach Thomas Tuchel and forward Harry Kane expressed concerns about adapting physically to the altitude in the limited time before the match. A report suggests the altitude could represent one of England’s toughest challenges in a major tournament. The winner will advance to face either Brazil or Norway in the quarterfinals.
