,Cold weather advisor“Cansus City warns anyone that” below zero is 20 as low cold air, which can cause frostbite on the skin exposed in 30 minutes. “City and Inter Miami are scheduled to play a football game.
He was originally set to open his season on Tuesday at the ConcacAF Champions Cup, but the snow in the Canasus City led a one -day adjournment. On Wednesday, however, it can be even more cold. At 7 pm, when the match is slaughtered to kick, Forecast wind is cold -9 degreesBy 9 pm, it can fall until -11.
This will be colder than any sport in the 29 -year history of the Major League soccer, and perhaps one of the coldest football games recorded anywhere.
And it has inspired a layoff of questions, including: Will Lionel Messi, Miami’s Peerless Star, participate?
Inter Head Coach Xavier Mascherano on Monday assured reporters that Messi is “100% available,” the weather does not matter. “I can assure you that Leo will play,” said Mascherano.
However, with the re -determined game from Tuesday to Wednesday, Inter Miami again arranged her plans and now scheduled to travel to Canasus City on Wednesday morning, a source familiar with the plans told Yahoo Sports. Naturally, fans suspect that Messi will join his peers. And some questions are whether the game should be exactly.
Why Miami vs Census City will run despite the cold
Concacaf, North and Central American Football Governing Body that runs the Champions Cup, created Basic decision to resume the match Monday’s statement said that from Tuesday to Wednesday, “In the next 24 hours, the hopes of influencing the Canus City metropolitan area include significant ice accumulation due to adverse conditions of the weather.
“Decision,” said, “players and fan were designed to prioritize security, and in close coordination with two participating clubs and local authorities.”
On Wednesday, ice is less than an anxiety. It is expected to stop falling late on Tuesday night. And this Underground heating system in children’s Daya Park The area of the game Casey should be made playable.
Anxiety, instead, have hypothermia, or frostbite, or other health issues – from disease to standard injuries – which may stems from excessive cold.
FIFPRO, a umbrella group that represents players’ unions in the football globe, “recommended That training and matches are canceled and when the air temperature is less than -15 ° C [5 degrees Fahrenheit] And when the air cold temperature is less than 27 ° C [-16.6 degrees Fahrenheit],
But there are no ConcacAF or FIFA rules responsible for cold temperatures. In the Canasus City, there is a hope that the game (again) will proceed as a plan – in the part because there is no place for further adjournment on the schedule. This is the first stage of two-foot knockout matchup. The second leg is scheduled for next Tuesday. And for the winner, the first phase of the following round is the subsequent week. In the weekend, starting on Saturday, MLS matches are there. (Miami’s league opener, originally set on Saturday at 2:30 pm Pushed back at 7:30 To adjust the 24-hour adjournment of Concacaf.)
The only viable work -raound will be to host the first phase for Inter Miami and to travel to the Canus City for the second phase the next week – when KC’s temperature will grow back normally, all the ways in the 50s. But now, it is too late to flip the legs. (When asked to confirm that the club was offered this option, and to explain why the switch was not done, the spokespersons of Inter Miami did not respond to the messages. Concacaf also asked for remarks. Did not respond to.)
When is it very cold for football?
There are no rules in parts because there is very little example for football in such cold weather. Most of the leagues in those countries in Scandinavia and Russia, such as frigid winners, are broken for January and February. The MLS season ends in early December and begins in late February, causing the worst in winter months.
March 3, 2019 was the coldest MLS game of March 1, 2019 in Colorado.Which was seen at 18 degrees Fahrenheit. The coldest game among MLS teams The CONCACAF Champions League had a clash of February 20, 2018 between Colorado Rapids and Toronto FC – which has traditionally started one or two weeks before the regular session of MLS.
The Colorado -Toronto game kickoff had about 5 degrees Fahrenheit and 3 degrees at the conclusion, with a well -cooled needle to a well below -10 degrees.
It was then crossed as the coldest high-level game on the United States soil in February 2022, when the US men’s national team played Honduras in the World Cup qualifier in Minnesota. The temperature of the day was 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the kickoff, with a cold of -14 air. Honduras had to replace many players due to “extreme climate conditions”. His coaches were incredible.
Most weather -related disputes, however, are focused on ice. The match between Real Salt Lake and LAFC on 2 March last year was played on an snow -covered pitch in Utah, a brand of “absolute joke” by LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo.
Generally, however, clubs in cold weather cities embrace adverse conditions. In Colorado, where it will also be about 4 degrees Fahrenheit for Tuesday’s Champions Cup game between Rapids and LAFC, Rapids appeared to subvet Inter Miami’s concern about situations in Canasus City. (The nickname of the Inter is Heronss.)
Globally, sports are sometimes postponed due to snow or heavy rain, but very rarely due to cold. In Siberia, A 2018 Russian Premier League game was played -13 degree of air cold of Fahrenheit. Russian football regulations stated that teams may refuse to play if the temperature fell below -15 ° C (5 degrees Fahrenheit), but the day was temporary -13.9 Celsius (6.98 Fahrenheit). Concacaf has no such rule.
Therefore, the Cancer City-Maymi match will probably move forward. Therefore, Messi’s participation is a decision for him and Antra Miami. For the 2025 season from playing, they can endanger their health in small and medium periods. Living at home can endanger Inter in the Champions Cup, one of his priority competitions.
