World Cup Final Amid Smoke Clearance | Global News

The World Cup final in New Jersey is set to go ahead despite lingering smoke from Canadian wildfires, but meteorologists predict a dramatic improvement just in time for kickoff—thanks to a storm front pushing the haze west. Air quality, currently “unhealthy for sensitive groups,” is expected to drop to “moderate” by Sunday, with temps hitting 80°F and low humidity. Meanwhile, political tensions flare as the president blames Canada, while Canadian officials push back, emphasizing their firefighting efforts amid their own crisis. Stadium air quality has been volatile, but officials are hopeful for clear skies and perfect conditions for the big match.
