FIFA has reversed its initial plan to move the England versus Mexico last-16 World Cup match to an earlier time. The game will now kick off at 1:00 AM British Summer Time on Monday, offering relief to pubs and law enforcement preparing for late-night crowds. Initially, there was concern over logistics and potential public order issues if the match started at a significantly later hour. The decision follows consideration of the impact on viewing audiences and venue operations. Pubs across England had been preparing for a busy late-night session, and police were anticipating increased demand on their resources. This U-turn ensures fans can watch the game at a more reasonable, albeit late, hour and allows businesses and authorities to finalize their arrangements.
