This Saturday evening at 11:00 PM, the French national team faces Paraguay in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. The match schedule or proceedings could be altered or delayed due to weather conditions, according to reports from RMC Sport.
FIFA has indicated that there is a weather-related risk for the France match. “We are closely monitoring the weather situation in Philadelphia. At this stage, there is a high risk of delays due to weather conditions,” FIFA stated.
This would mark the second time for France in this tournament, following a two-hour stoppage during the match against Iraq. Hopefully, there won’t be another such delay, which is difficult for everyone involved to manage. However, safety is obviously the priority.
