Lightning Triggers FIFA Weather Protocol in Mexico–England World Cup Delay
TL;DR Summary
Lightning near the Mexico City stadium activated FIFA’s weather protocol for World Cup 2026, delaying the Mexico v England last‑16 match; NOAA rules require stopping play if a lightning strike is detected within eight miles, triggering a 30‑minute countdown that resets with each strike and can lead to a restart on a shortened timeline or, if conditions don’t improve, a postponement with the clock resumed from the pause.
