Wildfire smoke disrupts Spain training ahead of World Cup final
Wildfire haze from Canada has caused air quality alerts in New York and New Jersey ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain.
Spain trained outdoors in East Hanover on Thursday despite air quality levels between unhealthy and hazardous.
Organisers are monitoring conditions at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford for potential weather disruptions.
Forecasts indicate improving conditions and expected rainfall on Saturday may clear the smoke before Sunday's final.
The final is currently expected to proceed as planned.
