Sweden and Japan cancel training at Tigres' stadium due to pitch issues

Sweden and Japan have canceled their training sessions scheduled at Estadio Universitario, home of Tigres, after FIFA inspectors deemed the pitch conditions unacceptable. The decision, confirmed by Tigres Vice President Carlos Valenzuela, follows a thorough evaluation by FIFA, which concluded that the grass was not suitable for international training. Both teams will now use Monterrey Rayados' facilities instead, which met the required standards for the competition. The cancellation marks a disappointment for Tigres, who had hoped to host the teams ahead of their World Cup matches in Monterrey.
