Mexico vs England Match Timing May Change Due to Storm

The FIFA World Cup match between Mexico and England is scheduled to kick off at 19:00 BST on Sunday, but concerns over a forecasted thunderstorm may lead to a change in timing. The match is set to take place at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, with a local kickoff time of 18:00.

FIFA has not yet provided an explanation for any potential rescheduling, but tournament safety rules dictate that if lightning is detected within eight miles of the stadium, there would be an automatic 30-minute delay. The Football Association (FA) is reportedly in discussions regarding the match's security and scheduling.

England's winger Marcus Rashford commented on the situation, stating that while the circumstances are not ideal, the team is focused on preparing for the game. The altitude of Estadio Azteca, located at 7,220 feet (2,240 meters) above sea level, poses additional challenges for players, as it can affect oxygen intake and increase fatigue.
