France-Iraq match suspension causes controversy

The France vs. Iraq match at the 2026 World Cup was halted for two hours and 13 minutes due to a severe thunderstorm, leading to the stadium being evacuated and play resuming only after the storm passed. This was the longest stoppage in World Cup history since its inception in 1930, and the extraordinary circumstances sparked controversy over the event's organization and the possibility of hosting the tournament in the United States due to the thunderstorm weather. FIFA had previously issued warnings to spectators not to attend, but many did not comply.
