England’s upcoming match in Mexico City is expected to face a weather-related disruption, with forecasts predicting thunder and lightning that may affect the scheduled kickoff time. One outlet reports that forecasters anticipate the match at approximately 1am local time could be delayed, prompting fans in England to plan for an extended wait and possibly an all-night viewing. The coverage also notes the logistical and sporting challenge of playing in the host nation’s capital at altitude, emphasizing that the team and its supporters have limited time to adapt to conditions. While the articles focus on the potential delay and the implications for viewers, they also frame the match context as a difficult environment for an away side, given Mexico City’s elevation. The reports do not cite specific official confirmation of the delay, but they present the forecast as the main reason the start time may change. Overall, the sources align on the expectation that severe weather could affect kickoff and that altitude is a relevant factor for England ahead of the match.
