FIFA president Gianni Infantino was unable to travel to Miami on Saturday for the World Cup third‑place match between England and France after flights were cancelled. The disruption forced him to change plans and attend the final’s stadium in East Rutherford instead.

Severe weather in New York led to the cancellation of several flights, directly affecting Infantino’s scheduled journey. The adverse conditions were cited as the reason for the abrupt change in his itinerary.

Consequently, Infantino visited the venue where the World Cup final will be contested, located in East Rutherford. His presence at the stadium highlighted the impact of the weather‑related travel issues.

In the third‑place match, England defeated France 6‑4 to secure third place in the tournament. The result confirmed England’s position ahead of France.

On Sunday evening, Argentina and Spain are set to meet in the World Cup final. The upcoming showdown will determine the champion of the competition.
