Extreme weather is frequent, Club World Cup events are repeatedly affected

Recommendation Network reported on June 29 that Benfica and Chelsea's 1/8 finals of the Club World Cup were interrupted due to thunderstorm warning, which is not an isolated case. Six games in this World Cup have been interrupted due to extreme weather, and the interference of extreme weather on the event has become increasingly prominent.

From the match between Ulsan HD and Mamerodi in the first round of the group stage, to the match between Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg; from the second round of the group stage, Palmeiras faced Cairo Nationals, to Benfica's big victory over Auckland City; to the draw between Auckland City and Boca Youth in the third round of the group stage, extreme weather is like a shadow. Benfica was "attacked" by extreme weather twice, and his game with Chelsea was forced to be suspended due to thunderstorms during the process.

The interference of extreme weather on the event not only affects the normal progress of the game, but also brings many inconveniences and challenges to players, spectators and event organization. Such frequent extreme weather events can't help but worry about next year's World Cup. As a top football event that attracts attention from the world, how to deal with possible extreme weather and ensure the smooth progress of the event is an urgent problem that FIFA and all relevant parties need to solve.
