Pohang Stadium, where the Doosan Bears and the Samsung Lions are scheduled to face off. On this day, temperatures in Pohang and North Gyeongsang Province rose to 35 degrees Celsius.
In the morning, a text message was sent to the Gyeongju area near Pohang for safety information.
Both Doosan and Samsung canceled outdoor training sessions.
Samsung tried to replace it with indoor training, but the training site was small, making it difficult to train properly.
In the case of the away team Doosan, they prepared for the game without training properly.
It was a situation of concern. Ahead of the Pohang game, Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, `If it is held in August, the hottest month, the performance and the physical strength of the players will be a problem.' I don't understand.'
Samsung coach Park Jin-man also said "The heat will cool down in mid-August, but the weather has many variables"

Club officials agreed that `the players could fall down.' Samsung coach Park Jin-man said, `I think I will collapse if I train over 30 degreesDoosan manager Lee Seung-yeop also expressed concern, saying, `If you slide on the ground, you may get burned.' One player said "I was out on the ground for a while and I was covered in sweat. He also vented that he was dizzy.
In the end, the decision was made to cancel. In the case of Pohang Stadium, the heat does not disappear easily even at night. In addition, stands are also concentrated, which has a high risk of developing heat diseases.
The canceled game will be organized as a Samsung Lions Park game on the preliminary day of the 4th of next month.
