Germany imports a gardener for the twenty twenty-six World Cup

The German national team has hired Sebastian Breuning, an expert gardener, to care for the training camp in North Carolina during the 2026 World Cup. Extreme temperatures have led FIFA to order hydration breaks during matches. Meanwhile, the local organization seems unable to find available gardeners.

Maintaining grass in extreme heat conditions requires high-precision sprinkler irrigation systems and soil moisture sensors. Germany has implemented constant monitoring with thermal drones to adjust the field's temperature. Additionally, drought-resistant grass varieties are used, such as hybrid Bermuda, which withstands up to 40 degrees Celsius without losing density.

In North Carolina, They're Looking for Gardeners with GPS 😅

While Germany brings in its elite gardener, in North Carolina the organizers are desperately searching for someone who knows how to water grass. Rumors suggest they have offered the position to an exchange student who mistook a sprinkler for a microphone. Meanwhile, FIFA suggests that teams bring their own soil.
