EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. \u2014 Heavy rain and possible flooding were forecast for the area around MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where Norway and Senegal were scheduled to meet in a World Cup match on Monday night.<\/p>

The U.S. National Weather Service issued a flood watch<\/a> for parts of New York City and New Jersey that included Bergen County, where MetLife Stadium is located.<\/p>\n

\u201cShowers and potential thunderstorms with high amounts of moisture are expected to move through the area this afternoon and tonight,\u201d the NWS said. \u201cThese showers will have the potential to produce up to around 2 inches of rainfall per hour. These rates could result in flash flooding mainly over urban and poor drainage areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in his latest edition<\/a> of a video series throughout the tournament advised ticket-holders to begin their trek to the stadium at least four hours before the scheduled 8 p.m. EDT start time.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not underestimate the weather,\u201d Mamdani said. \u201cThunderstorms may be severe, and winds may be strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York City Emergency Management issued a travel advisory earlier Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m urging everyone to plan ahead and give themselves extra time to travel safely,\u201d Mamdani said in a statement<\/a> . \u201cNo destination is worth risking your safety. If conditions become severe, stay indoors and wait until it\u2019s safe to travel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The open-air venue, which opened in 2010 and seats about 80,000, was constructed over steel pilings in New Jersey marshlands.<\/p>

There have not been any weather delays during the first 11 days of the tournament.<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s Club World Cup in the U.S., six of 63 games were delayed by weather<\/a> for a total of 8 hours, 29 minutes.<\/p>\n

The start of England\u2019s friendly against Costa Rica on June 10 at Orlando, Florida, was pushed back one hour because of a storm and a June 5 friendly between Saudi Arabia and Puerto Rico in Austin, Texas, was suspended in the 21st minute because of weather and resumed about 90 minutes later.<\/p>\n

World Cup regulations say \u201cin the case of a match being abandoned as a result of force majeure after it has already kicked off \u2026 the match shall recommence at the minute at which play was interrupted rather than being replayed in full, and with the same scoreline.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe match shall recommence where play was stopped when the match was interrupted (e.g. with a free kick, throw\u2011in, goal kick, corner kick, penalty kick, etc.),\u201d it adds. \u201cIf the match was abandoned while the ball was still in play, it shall restart with a dropped ball from the position of the ball when play was stopped. The kickoff time, date, location and any other matter shall be decided by FIFA.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, \u201cFIFA has the right to cancel, reschedule or relocate one or more matches (or the entire FIFA World Cup 26) for any reason at its sole discretion, including as a result of force majeure or due to health, safety or security concerns.\u201d<\/p>
