The 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina is under threat due to wildfires in Canada. Donald Trump, who plans to attend the match in person, risks being left without football on Sunday. The match is scheduled to take place in New York and kicks off at 22:00 Moscow time. Yesterday, due to severe air pollution in Chicago, the regular season Major League Soccer (MLS) match between the Chicago Fire and the Vancouver Whitecaps was postponed until October 6. The footage shows a smoky New York. The sun is practically invisible through the thick smog. As the New York Post writes, Breathing the air in the city now is like smoking ten cigarettes. A "red" air quality level has been introduced in Washington. As Ole writes, the likelihood of postponing the World Cup final is low, but it cannot be ruled out. Tournament organizers are hoping the smog will clear. Trump plans to present the trophy to the winner together with FIFA President Gianni Infantino following the match. White House press secretary Caroline Levitt said the US president's presence "will be the culmination of the most-watched and most successful World Cup in American history." Video not loading?
