The Euro 2024 round of 16 match between Germany and Denmark at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund was disrupted by a severe thunderstorm. The game was halted due to safety concerns for the players and match officials. This is not the first time weather has interrupted a major football tournament. During the Euro 2012 tournament in Ukraine, a match between Ukraine and France was suspended in the fifth minute due to heavy rainfall and a thunderstorm. The game was only resumed after a 58-minute delay. To avoid scheduling conflicts, UEFA adjusted the kick-off time for the Sweden vs England match, pushing it back 15 minutes. In the Germany vs Denmark match, after a 20-minute delay, the game resumed when the rain stopped and conditions were deemed safe for play. The incident highlights the challenges posed by unpredictable weather conditions during outdoor sporting events.
