Spain training session cancelled before World Cup final - Published 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. 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 national team's training session on the pitches at the Melanie Lane Training Ground in New Jersey has been suspended in accordance with the US storm safety protocol," the Spanish federation (RFEF) said in a statement. Earlier this week, officials in New York and New Jersey issued an air quality health alert because of haze blanketing the city, caused by wildfires in Canada.
