Overview
- Organizers issued a lightning-risk notice at the Spain session just before players were due to appear, prompting reporters to evacuate indoors and the team to cancel the final outdoor workout.
- Officials initially planned to delay Spain’s practice but abandoned that plan when forecasters said weather recovery was unlikely, so no on-field session took place.
- Argentina’s training was pushed back by about 40 minutes because of the same storm and then began a shortened public segment in which Lionel Messi and teammates did ball drills.
- There were no reports of injuries or changes to the match timing and organizers have kept the final scheduled as planned.
- The interruption highlights how lightning-safety rules can compress pre-match routines, shorten public access for media and fans, and leave teams with less on-field preparation before the final.
