If it rains, will the World Cup be held as scheduled?

Generally, in rainy weather, the ball game is held as scheduled. If the weather is very bad, resulting in low visibility or serious water accumulation, the referee will interrupt the game and continue until the weather improves.

In rainy days, the movement, speed and landing point of football are very different from those in sunny days because of the resistance of water. There is no doubt that there will be some basketball throws in normal weather, but due to the resistance of rain, the speed of the ball drops sharply and it is easy to be saved by the other side. The "water polo" surface is slippery, and the goalkeeper is easy to get rid of it when saving, which creates a chance for the attacking players who come quickly.

Playing football in rainy days, the chances of injury to muscles, joints, ligaments and bones increase exponentially. It is common for athletes to suffer from respiratory diseases and have a high fever after the game.
