According to the Milan Sports News, Inter Milan's 8th-finals of the Club World Cup against Fruminense are facing a thunderous alarm, and there are many risks and may be interrupted like Chelsea's match against Benfica.

Inter Milan's Club World Cup round of 16 will be played in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the game kickoff time is a time when authorities advise people to avoid going out.

Benfica and Chelsea have experienced a pause due to the storm, and they have to wait for hours to restart the game and finally decide the winner through overtime.

In Charlotte, the lightning problem is also very serious, and the authorities and citizens are extremely cautious about it. In addition, the high temperatures up to 35 degrees Celsius have made North Carolina authorities advise residents to avoid going out from around 12 noon to 4 pm, which is the Inter Milan competition scheduled a few months ago, and the competition is scheduled to start tomorrow at 3 pm local time.

Due to the hot weather, the Inter Milan training class was originally scheduled to be postponed to 5 pm yesterday morning.

Worryingly, the main problem with the upcoming game is the thunder alarm, which has caused trouble for Chelsea and Benfica, as the weather conditions tomorrow are almost the same as yesterday.

Like other parts of the United States, the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte also implements a strict "refuge agreement". Specifically, if lightning is detected within 12.7 kilometers of the stadium, the so-called "refuge agreement" will be initiated, i.e. the activity must be suspended and the appropriate shelter must be found. The agreement will continue to take effect until no new lightning signals appear within half an hour. During the shelter, personnel in the stadium must immediately find a shelter and the audience will be evacuated. This regulation not only applies to sports events, for example, on July 6, 2023, the concert of American country singer Luke Combs was also interrupted due to lightning and the audience was evacuated.
