The 2026 World Cup is at risk of experiencing delays due to adverse weather conditions, including potential lightning and thunderstorms. This follows disruptions seen in several matches during last year’s Club World Cup, where games were affected by similar weather issues. FIFA's weather protocol will be relevant in managing these potential challenges during the upcoming tournament.
Concerns have emerged regarding the potential for weather-related disruptions at the 2026 World Cup. The tournament faces a risk of long delays, particularly due to lightning and thunderstorms.
This apprehension is informed by recent experience, as several games during last year’s Club World Cup were notably disrupted by adverse weather conditions. These past events serve as a precedent for the potential challenges the 2026 World Cup might encounter.
FIFA has established a weather protocol to address such eventualities. The implementation of this protocol will be crucial in mitigating the impact of any weather-induced delays during the major international competition.
