FIFA World Cup: How Some Players Keep the Oxygen Flowing

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues, the Intake Breathing performance tool has been appearing on some of the world’s biggest athletic stages. Recently, finalist Amadou Onana (Belgium National Team & Aston Villa), a starting lineup player, wore the must-have breathing device during the tournament in Belgium’s dramatic and brutal dismantling of the American team on their way to the finals.

Available on Intake Breathing online and the Amazon store, the patented two-part system is designed to support comfortable breathing by helping to keep the nasal passages open during physical activity.

We also saw the nasal breathing strips worn by Mexican striker Santiago Giménez. Rafael Leão: The AC Milan and Portugal star was inspired to start wearing nose patches by his teammate Santiago Giménez. Premier League & European Stars: Players like Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland have frequently used nasal strips, and they are regularly seen across top leagues, including the Eredivisie.
The patented two-part system features a reusable magnetic nasal strip paired with medical-grade hypoallergenic adhesive tabs, designed to support comfortable nasal breathing throughout a workout or any physical activity. Whether you’re competing on the main stage, logging Zone 2 miles, lifting weights, tackling a HIIT workout, recovering after training, or heading to Pilates or yoga, many users have made Intake part of their routine to support comfortable nasal breathing during activity.
Available online at Intake’s website and the Amazon store, Intake Breathing is designed to support comfortable nasal breathing by helping keep the nasal passages open throughout the night. Many users report waking up feeling more refreshed, experiencing quieter, more comfortable sleep, and having a much better breathing flow during physical activities.
