Spain v Argentina World Cup final faces minor postponement risk amid New York smoke | OneFootball

The World Cup final between Spain and Argentina, set for Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New York, faces a minor risk of postponement due to deteriorating air quality.

According to Superdeporte, smoke from ongoing wildfires in Canada has drifted over the north-east United States, significantly reducing air quality around the venue.

Local authorities are closely tracking pollution levels, which could affect players and the thousands of supporters expected to attend. There is no official decision putting the match in doubt, and the weather’s evolution in the coming hours will be decisive.

Forecasts suggest Saturday’s rain could help clear the atmosphere and improve air quality, which would ease concerns for organisers and the competing teams.

FIFA is continuing to monitor the situation alongside health and meteorological authorities.
