Ahead of the final group stage match of the 2026 World Cup, organizers are closely monitoring the weather in Kansas City, where the Netherlands vs. Tunisia match will take place at 6:00 AM on June 26th. According to the latest forecasts, there is a 70% chance of thunderstorms and heavy rain in the area on June 25th. US meteorological agencies have issued flood warnings in several areas.

Heavy rainfall is forecast to intensify from early morning and continue into the following dawn. This puts the Netherlands' match at risk of being significantly delayed.

Even if rain doesn't fall at the exact time the game is scheduled, the risk of postponement still exists. This is due to the strict regulations in the US regarding outdoor sporting events.

According to guidelines from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), all professional sporting activities must be suspended if lightning is detected within a 13-kilometer radius of the competition venue.
