FIFA President Gianni Infantino and the White House have been in talks about Sunday\u2019s World Cup<\/a> final in New Jersey as the tri-state area continues to deal with poor air quality caused by wildfires raging in Canada, sources confirmed to Fox News Digital on Friday.<\/p>\n

The discussions were characterized as informal as they continue to monitor the wildfire situation. The sources added that there were no contingency plans in place to make any changes to the game because of the weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sky Sports first reported that a potential meeting between Infantino and White House officials would focus on the potential dangers posed.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> is slated to attend the game in new Jersey on Sunday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The air quality has already affected some professional games \u2014 an MLS game in Chicago on Thursday was postponed, while an MLB game in Philadelphia<\/a> was moved up an hour.<\/p>\n

IF AIR QUALITY IS POOR, ARGENTINA COULD BE HURT BY SPAIN’S STYLE IN WORLD CUP FINAL, FOX ANALYST SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Toronto Blue Jays announced earlier Friday that the retractable roof at Rogers Centre will be closed because of air quality concerns.<\/p>\n

Spain and Argentina will kick off at 3 p.m. at MetLife Stadium \u2014 Argentina is aiming to become the first back-to-back winner since Brazil in 1958 and 1962.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the New York Yankees postponed a game, but the air quality index was nearly double the 150-200 range the area has been hit with this week.<\/p>\n
