Foot Mercato features YUYU ICE Recovery as World Cup heat puts cooling breaks in focus

“Les Bleus avec YUYU à la Coupe du Monde.”

French football publication Foot Mercato has covered YUYU ICE Recovery in a story about how France and several leading national teams are preparing for extreme heat during the 2026 World Cup.

The article explains that teams have been adjusting to cooling breaks since the March international window, with players now facing high temperatures across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Foot Mercato reports that France, England, Portugal, Argentina, Germany and Norway have opted for YUYU ICE Recovery bottles to help keep players cool during short recovery periods.

YUYU ICE Recovery is a 90 cm portable, reusable, water based cooling system. It can be chilled or frozen, then used around the neck and shoulders, across the wrists or palms, against the face, or on the legs.

The product was created by British brand YUYU, founded by Richard Yu, and is designed to be simple to use in real sporting conditions:

Fill, freeze or chill, wear, wipe clean and reuse.

No batteries. No plugs. No gels.

As World Cup cooling breaks become part of the tournament, YUYU ICE Recovery is becoming one of the products people are starting to notice on the pitch, on the bench and during the moments between play.
