FIFA confirmed that the round-of-16 match between Brazil and Norway will take place on Sunday, 5, at 17h Brasília time.
The world soccer body decided to keep the original schedule after evaluating possible alterations. The match will be held at the New York/New Jersey stadium.
FIFA considered delaying the game by one hour to avoid simultaneous matches with Mexico vs England, set for 21h at Estadio Azteca. Concerns over weather conditions in Mexico City were also reviewed.
The teams' technical commissions were notified of the possible change, but FIFA chose to preserve the initial times. The Mexico vs England match remains scheduled for the same day.
