Slovak footballer Lukáš Haraslín is adjusting to his transfer from Sparta Prague to the Saudi Arabian club Al-Fateh. Haraslín has noted the extreme physical challenges posed by the regional climate, reporting that training temperatures can reach 46°C and noting a weight loss of 3.5 kilograms during a single 90-minute match against Al-Faysaly.

As he acclimates, Haraslín has commented on the high technical quality of the Saudi league, suggesting it may be more competitive than expected. To manage the heat, which has stabilized between 37°C and 40°C, he has adjusted his schedule to train after 6:00 PM. Following his club transition, Haraslín has rejoined the Slovak national team to prepare for a demanding schedule of four matches in 11 days.
