Sporting Kansas City announced that his match of the first round of the Concacaf Champions Cup on Tuesday against Miami has postponed until Wednesday due to frozen temperatures.
Currently, the two teams were scheduled to start their seasons in the continental club competition, with the second leg in the calendar for next week at Inter Miami’s Chase Stadium. However, Kansas City will be beaten with chills and snow showers that put temperatures in the individual digits on Tuesday. It might seem as low as -18 degrees Fahrenheit for when the game was scheduled to start at 7 pm local time, preparing extremely hard conditions for players and any other person they attend.
“We know that clubs are in conversations,” Mascherano said at a press conference on Monday. “We are waiting to see if there are updates. At this time, the game is scheduled for Tuesday.”
Cold conditions have inspired questions about the availability of Lionel Messi, especially with the first MLAMI MLS game against New York City FC on Saturday. Messi’s minutes will probably be administered during the season, especially with the participation of Miami in the newly expanded FIFA Club World Cup in June, but Mascherano said the 37 -year -old player will be available on Tuesday.
He will “play,” said Mascherano briefly on Monday, not offering other details about how much game time he will receive.
However, the most important question was answered by Concacaf on Monday after both clubs asked about a postponement, according to Miami Herald, with the game could be taken to Wednesday. It is assumed that the maximum in Kansas City will be higher on Wednesday, compared to five degrees to nine, although the bass will fall from -2 degrees to -10.
Sports leadership said Friday that the club would be prepared for the game independently.
“The cold is one thing; we will see what the snow does,” said CEO Jake Reid, according to Kansas City star. “We will be ready. Our concern is the safe access for fans from and to and clear the parking lots and walk. When they go out, it is very cold.”
The snow showers are currently in the forecast for Tuesday, but not on Wednesday.
