Mexico: Hail and Rain Batter Stadium in Mexico City at End of Liga MX Game

Heavy rain and hail hit the Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Mexico City during the final minutes of the Pumas vs. Atlas match on Sunday, August 31. The sudden downpour flooded the pitch, the corridors leading to the locker rooms, and areas around the anti-doping rooms, forcing many fans to seek shelter. The post-match press conference for Atlas coach Diego Cocca was canceled due to the unsafe conditions, as waterlogged passageways made it impossible for him to reach the media area safely. Despite the severe weather, the match was completed, and the stadium remained affected by flooding even after the final whistle.
