The final match for Chivas in the 2025 Leagues Cup has been postponed due to an electric storm at the FC Cincinnati stadium. The event will only resume when weather conditions improve, as reported by the Leagues Cup organization on social media.
Thunderstorms are currently impacting Cincinnati, leading to the suspension of the Guadalajara versus Cincinnati match, which was scheduled to take place at TQL Stadium. Although rain typically does not stop soccer games, the presence of lightning warrants delays for safety reasons.
Following the suspension, officials continue to monitor weather radar closely, and play cannot resume until at least 30 minutes have passed without any new lightning strikes detected.
As it stands, the match between Chivas and Cincinnati remains on hold, and it is essential to wait until there is no further lightning activity before the game can commence.
The ongoing rivalry between Liga MX and MLS teams in this year’s Leagues Cup has heightened excitement among fans, and all matches are available for live viewing through the MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.
This situation highlights not just the unpredictability of weather during summer events, but also showcases safety as a primary concern in sports. While fans are anxiously awaiting the match, it reinforces the importance of prioritizing player and spectator safety in turbulent weather conditions.
