Shelter-in-Place Order at Azteca Stadium
The Azteca Stadium has implemented a shelter-in-place order due to severe weather conditions ahead of the last-16 World Cup match between Mexico and England.
The game, scheduled to begin at 18:00 local time on Sunday (01:00 BST Monday), is set to take place in Mexico City.
Throughout the day, the city has experienced heavy rainfall accompanied by reports of lightning above the stadium. As a result, current guidance for supporters and media inside the venue is to remain seated.
Kick-Off Time Discussions
Fifa engaged in discussions with the English and Mexican football associations on Friday regarding a proposed change to the match's kick-off time. The initial proposal suggested moving the game to 19:00 BST on Sunday (12:00 local time). However, a subsequent reversal led to the decision to keep the original kick-off time unchanged.
