White House, FIFA Assess Smoke Hazards Ahead of World Cup Final

White House officials will meet FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss potential health risks from Canadian wildfire smoke ahead of Sunday's World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, a match between Spain and defending champion Argentina. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the trophy presentation afterwards at Trump Tower. While NYC-area air quality has been poor to unhealthy, forecasts suggest smoke may clear enough by Sunday for the finale, and officials say cancellation remains extremely remote unless air quality reaches hazardous levels.
