Spain's final training session before the World Cup final was cancelled after heavy thunderstorms hit New York and New Jersey on Saturday. Luis de la Fuente's side were due to train at the Melanie Lane Training Ground in New Jersey but after the session was initially suspended, it was later called off. About five miles away in Morristown, opponents Argentina were later able to train after a 45-minute delay.

Spain and defending champions Argentina will meet in Sunday's final (20:00 BST) at the New York New Jersey Stadium. On Saturday, New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani said the city was under a flood advisory and advised residents not to "risk your safety in these dangerous conditions." The Spanish federation (RFEF) stated the session was suspended per US storm safety protocol, with players moving indoors.

FIFA said there would be no alternative time slots for European champions Spain to train on Saturday. US protocol requires suspension if lightning is detected within an eight-mile radius, with resumption only after 30 minutes without strikes. Earlier this week, officials issued an air quality health alert due to haze from Canadian wildfires.

Spain booked their place in the final by beating France 2-0 on Tuesday, while Argentina staged a late comeback to beat England 2-1 on Wednesday.
