FIFA keeps England vs. Mexico match at original kickoff time

FIFA has confirmed that the England versus Mexico match will take place at 6 p.m. local time as initially scheduled, despite earlier considerations to move it to noon due to weather concerns. The potential rescheduling faced strong opposition from both teams, particularly Mexico’s manager Javier Aguirre, who criticized the upheaval amid significant logistical challenges. After a day of uncertainty, the original time was restored, although thunderstorms could still delay the kickoff. Broadcasters and fans had prepared for the shift, adding tension to the situation.
