ATLANTA — Those who were hoping to take part in the downtown Fan Festival Sunday night will have to take a rain check.
Organizers said they decided to close the event early because of the risk of severe weather, at 7 p.m., thus cancelling nighttime events, including a planned showing of the Ivory Coast v Ecuador match.
The decision was made “for the safety of our guests, staff, volunteers and partners,” FIFA World Cup 2026 Atlanta announced on social media.
