The encounter between Real Madrid and Austrian Red Bull Salzburg, scheduled to take place early Friday in the third and final round of the group stage of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, faces the threat of postponement due to weather conditions.

The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported today, Wednesday, that meteorological forecasts indicate the possibility of thunderstorms during the match time, which could lead to its postponement or temporary suspension.

The match is expected to be held in moderate conditions with temperatures reaching 22 degrees Celsius, which is good news for Real Madrid, after having played its previous two matches in hot weather. However, the possibility of rain and thunderstorms remains despite the reduced risk.

Regulations in the United States stipulate that any match must be suspended as soon as a thunderstorm approaches the stadium, with rescheduling occurring later to ensure the safety of players, coaching staff, and fans. This procedure has already been implemented on several occasions during the current edition of the tournament.
