The locations and schedules that Spain will play in the group stage of the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year have already been determined: Lamine Yamal, Pedri and the rest of La Roja will make their debut on Monday, June 15 against Cabo. … Green. The match will take place in Atlanta, the main city of Georgia, and will take place at twelve o’clock and six o’clock in the afternoon in Spain.
One of the concerns of Luis de la Fuente’s team is the heat at this time of year in the United States and, without doubt, temperatures can soar around this time in hot Georgia. But Atlanta’s stadium, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, has a roof: Spain will make its debut under cover.
Spain will not move for its second match, against Saudi Arabia: same stage and same time, Atlanta at 6 p.m. in Spain, Sunday June 21.
But they will have to pack their bags and change countries in the third match of the group stage, the most decisive, with the toughest rival and, perhaps, with first place in the group at stake: they will face Uruguay in Guadalajara, Mexico. For this match, Spanish fans will have to stay up late: it will be at three in the morning from Friday June 26 to Saturday June 27 in Spain.
If it achieves the primary objective of qualifying first in the group – avoiding Argentina in the round of 16 – La Roja would avoid the heat, travel little and play all the elimination rounds towards the final in indoor stadiums. And with very good times for Spanish fans at home, still at 9 p.m. in Spain: round of 16 in Los Angeles (July 2), round of 16 in Dallas (July 6), quarter-final in Los Angeles (July 10) and semi-final in Dallas (July 14). It is only during a hypothetical final that he will have to endure the heat: that of the Met Life stadium, shared by New Jersey and New York, at three in the afternoon (still 9 p.m. in Spain) on July 19.
