New Jersey will host its first World Cup game on Saturday, June 13, with temperatures expected to near 90 degrees. The National Weather Service indicates that while showers are forecasted for both Friday and Sunday, match day will remain clear and dry. As MetLife Stadium is an open-air venue without air conditioning, patrons are advised to dress lightly and stay hydrated. FIFA regulations stipulate that matches proceed unless severe weather conditions arise, so fans can expect the game to continue unless significant safety concerns are present.
