England's World Cup last-16 clash with Mexico has been delayed by an hour because of severe weather in Mexico City. The match, originally scheduled to start at 01:00 BST, will now kick off at 19:00 local time.
FIFA confirmed the postponement citing lightning risks near the stadium. A statement said the safety of all individuals remains the organisation's priority.
Any further lightning activity could extend the delay. England fans in the UK now face a late night as the game is set to run into the early hours.
The match at the Azteca Stadium is part of the 2026 World Cup round of 16. Mexico have won all four of their games so far without conceding, while England advanced after victories over Croatia, Panama and DR Congo.
