En plus d’une pause fraîcheur de trois minutes imposées lors de chaque mi-temps, la mesure concerne notamment les demi-finales de Fédérale 2, Fédérale 3 et du champion féminin d’Élite 1, dont les coups d’envoi étaient prévus à 15 h.

Kick-off times for weekend games have been moved to no earlier than 5:30 p.m. Additionally, a mandatory three-minute 'cool-down' break will be enforced during each half of the matches. These measures specifically impact semi-final games in Fédérale 2, Fédérale 3, and the women's Élite 1 championship, whose original start times were set for 3 p.m. The federation is prioritizing player safety amid the dangerous temperatures. This decision reflects the growing impact of climate change on sporting events. The adjustments aim to mitigate the risks associated with playing in extreme heat.
