Thunderstorms Cancel Spain's Final World Cup Training Ahead of Argentina ClashPreviousNext

Severe thunderstorms in New Jersey forced Spain to cancel their final outdoor training session ahead of the FIFA World Cup final against Argentina at MetLife Stadium. Spain's players conducted an indoor warm-up instead, following US storm safety protocols. Argentina's training was delayed but later completed once weather conditions improved. The storm prompted regional flood warnings, though forecasts for the match day are favorable with minimal rain expected.
