A World Cup match was recently delayed due to weather conditions. The game between France and Iraq in Philadelphia was paused for over two hours. This delay occurred at halftime on Monday.

The reason for the delay was heavy rain and thunderstorms in the area. This is notable as it is the first time a World Cup match has been delayed midgame due to inclement weather in several decades. Further details about the delay and its impact on the tournament are available from KSAT 12.
