FIFA considers changing kickoff times for Mexico-England and Brazil-Norway matches

FIFA is evaluating an adjustment to the kickoff times for two upcoming World Cup matches due to severe weather concerns in Mexico City. The match between Mexico and England, originally set for 6 p.m. local time, may be moved to noon. This change could also delay Brazil’s match against Norway, currently scheduled for 4 p.m. local time in New York. An earlier kickoff could present challenging conditions, with temperatures expected to rise significantly and compounded by the high altitude of Estadio Azteca. England manager Thomas Tuchel acknowledged the potential advantage for Mexico due to their acclimatization, while England's players expressed readiness to adapt to any schedule changes.
