🚨 World Cup matches could experience LONG INTERRUPTIONS if stopped due to weather conditions, The Athletic report.

According to the American protocol in case of a storm, a match played in an open stadium must be IMMEDIATELY SUSPENDED if lightning is detected within a radius of approximately 13 KM. ⚡️

After each lightning strike, a delay of 30 MINUTES is applied. If a new strike is detected during this time, the clock resets to zero, which can lead to interruptions of SEVERAL HOURS. ⏳
