Spain’s planned final training session ahead of Sunday’s World Cup final is cancelled after thunderstorms affect the New York and New Jersey area. BBC News reports that the cancellation is linked to thunderstorms in New Jersey, disrupting the team’s schedule for its last workout before the match. The Independent similarly says weather conditions are playing a major role in the lead-up to the final, noting that the training session is called off as storms strike the wider NYC region. Yahoo Sports also states that Spain’s final pre-final session does not go ahead because thunderstorms pass through New Jersey. Across all accounts, the reason given is the same: storm activity and related disruptions to travel and outdoor activities in the region where the team is preparing for the game. The reports do not indicate a change to the date of the World Cup final itself, only that Spain’s final training session is affected by the weather.
