Both national football squads experienced delays in their arrival at the stadium due to adverse weather conditions ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 16 fixture between Mexico and England.

According to The Guardian, a storm in the area disrupted logistical arrangements surrounding the match, causing both teams to arrive at the venue later than scheduled. The fixture forms part of the tournament’s knockout stage, in which elimination results in immediate exit from the competition.

Further details regarding the precise stadium location, the extent of the delay, and any potential impact on the scheduled kick-off time had not been fully confirmed at the time of publication. The Guardian was monitoring developments via a live blog.

The football associations involved could not be reached for comment.
