Brazil-Morocco match may start late, bad weather threatens World Cup

The highly anticipated match between Brazil and Morocco in Group 3 of the 2026 World Cup may not start as scheduled due to unstable weather in New Jersey.

Intense rainfall and forecasts of thunderstorms have put organizers on alert, just hours before the match to be played at MetLife Stadium.

According to safety protocols in force in the US, the presence of lightning within a distance of 12.8 kilometers from the sports facility forces the interruption or postponement of the activity until conditions improve.

In the event of this protocol being activated, players must immediately leave the field, while fans are instructed to move to protected areas of the stadium.

Authorities and organizers are monitoring meteorological developments in real time to decide whether the meeting will take place as planned or will be delayed.

However, despite the uncertainty created by the weather, interest in the match remains very high, with Brazil and Morocco aiming to start their world adventure with three points.
