Prior to the first practice at Episcopal High School, Alexandria on 11/6, the spokesman for the Croatian NHS (HNS) Tomislav Pacak had to clarify a strict rule in the state of Virginia. According to this, if there is a storm and lightning strike within a 10-mile radius of the courtyard, the rehearsal is not allowed to take place. If this is happening, it's forced to suspend immediately. So Croatian practice can only continue after 30 minutes from the last bolt of lightning.

The weather situation is not favorable to [ Croatia] (htttts ://nvexpress.net/chu-doi/doi-tá-bong-da-croatia-541), when the storm is expected to continue to affect their garrison to June 12. If conditions do not allow for strict Virginia state law, the episodes of Modric and teammates will not be able to proceed as planned.
In theory, the team that used to take third place in the 2022 World Cup could still practice in the competition house, but that was not the optimum space as coach Zlatko Dalic desired. Croatian newspaper *Sportske Novosti said that 59-year-old military authorities were forced to need an outdoor natural lawn to practice tactics, especially fixed situations.
In addition to the storm, high levels of air humidity give rise to the stifling feeling that Croatian players are also at a disadvantage. The temperature recorded in Alexandria is recorded to average 31 degrees Celsius and humidity up to 74%. The only positive point was that the practice yard had a lighting system, which enabled the entire team to wait patiently for the weather to improve and then leave the yard to complete the project.

On 11 June, the British and Costa Rica Associatement at Inter&Co Field, Orlando, Florida (US) was also affected by bad weather and regulations from authorities. By this time, the storm of lightning had caused the master Thomas Tuchel's review to be delayed for more than an hour than the time for the ball to roll.

According to the U.S. Storm Safety Protocol by the U.S. National Air and Ocean Management Agency (NOAA), a match at the SVA must be immediately suspended if the lightning or electrical activity is detected within a radius of about 12.8 km around the competition site.
The players would then be asked to leave the courtyard for shelter in the dressing room, while the fans were evacuated to safety areas in the courtyard. As soon as a bolt of lightning is detected in a 12-mile radius, a 30-minute countdown clock will begin to run.
If this time passes without any more lightning, the game can continue. However, if another bolt of lightning struck down in that 30-minute frame, the clock would be re-installed to 0, and the process would be repeated until enough 30 minutes passed without any lightning being recorded.
FIFA itself is not responsible for the storm safety process of the United States, as well as no right to stand above these regulations. Thus, the delay of a match can be pulled along with the implications of the match-ordering.
This is the script that has happened many times in the FIFA World Cup summer 2025 in the United States, with six games having to pause due to electromagnetic storm. Among them was the match between Chelsea and Benfica at Charlotte, North Carolina, which began at 4:38 p.m. (the local time) and eventually took up to 4:38 minutes from the rolling ball to be closed.
In case the weather conditions were too dangerous to completely cancel the game, the rules of the World Cup stipulated that the game would be kicked back another day. When that happens, the game time will be restarted exactly how many minutes it will be suspended, and the players will play the rest of the time.
