The decisive match between Scotland and Brazil risks being postponed

The decisive match between Scotland and Brazil risks being postponed

The match between Scotland and Brazil, valid for the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, could face significant delays due to adverse weather conditions predicted in Miami.

The challenge is expected to take place at Hard Rock Stadium, but meteorologists have warned of severe storms and high electrical activity right around the scheduled time of the meeting.

According to the safety protocols in force, any lightning strike recorded near the stadium forces the immediate cessation of activity, while the resumption of play is allowed only after a certain period of time has passed without danger.

A similar precedent was recorded a few days ago in the France-Iraq match in Philadelphia, which was interrupted for nearly two hours due to bad weather, forcing fans and teams to wait until conditions improved.

Scotland coach Steve Clarke has stated that the team is prepared for any scenario, stressing that the players have been informed of the possibility of the match being postponed or suspended.

For the Scots, the match is of particular importance in the race for qualification, as a draw would be enough to ensure passage to the knockout stage. Even in the event of a loss, the team remains in contention for a place among the best teams ranked in third position.
