According to Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett, FIFA will hold a meeting with the local organizing committee in Mexico City later today to further discuss the potential impact of thunderstorms on the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match between Mexico and England.

According to the latest weather forecast, there is still a 90% chance of thunderstorms near the Azteca Stadium at kick-off time on Sunday. A report by local meteorological experts states that match officials need to "be ready to initiate lightning safety procedures at any time."

Currently, the match will not kick off 6 hours early, but if the thunderstorms persist at that time, the kick-off time or the match process could still be affected.
