Carbohydrate pouches, al fresco dining and theme nights: Inside the FA's bid to help England 'gain a tactical fuel advantage over opponents' at the World Cup

England's football team will use secret carbohydrate-packed pouches as part of a nutrition initiative called 'Project 6G' ahead of the World Cup. The FA's plan is designed to give England a tactical fuelling advantage over opponents, incorporating specific dietary strategies including al fresco dining and themed meal nights. The programme reflects a broader effort by England's support staff to optimise player performance and recovery through targeted nutrition.
