Fans brave heat wave for Portugal-Croatia match

Thousands of fans are expected to attend the Portugal vs. Croatia World Cup match in Toronto despite a severe heatwave and event cancellations.

Due to extreme weather conditions, outdoor broadcasts at Nathan Phillips Square have been canceled, but the FIFA Fan Festival remains open with cooling stations and safety measures in place. Officials warn of high temperatures and humidity, with the heat index reaching up to 42°C, while a thunderstorm is anticipated later in the day.
