A shelter-in-place order is issued at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium ahead of the World Cup last-16 match between Mexico and England, Reuters and multiple reports say. FIFA informs that the order is put in place because thunderstorms are approaching the stadium area. Supporters are told to remain in their seats as an electrical storm develops nearby. The order is communicated to stadium attendees during the period before kick-off while weather conditions pose a risk. Reports from BBC News and Yahoo Sports describe fans being instructed to stay where they are as the storm moves closer to the venue. Channel NewsAsia also reports that the shelter order remains in place at the stadium ahead of the game. The coverage aligns on the timing (before the Mexico v England fixture), the location (Azteca Stadium), and the reason (approaching thunderstorms/electrical storm).
