Forecasts suggest that on match day, the temperature will feel like a scorching +44°C. According to FIFA regulations, if the actual temperature exceeds +32°C, mandatory three-minute hydration breaks must be held in each half. Moreover, in cases of extreme heat, FIFA reserves the right to postpone or cancel the match altogether.
Another serious concern is the threat of thunderstorms. Regulations specify that if lightning is detected within a 13-kilometer radius of the stadium, the match must be suspended for at least 30 minutes to ensure the safety of players, officials, and fans. So, the weather could have a major impact on one of the most anticipated quarter-final fixtures.
