    To further protect the health of players, the executive took the following decisions:
    - Additional cooling breaks (after the 30th minute of the first and second halves of the game) will be granted if the Web Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) exceeds 32 degrees.
    - The availability of an AED (automated external defibrillator) shall be compulsory at every international game.

    p.s. there are references to both "wet" and "web"
