A thunderstorm forced the cancellation of the Egyptian national team's training session in Atlanta, USA, ahead of their match against Argentina scheduled for Tuesday in the Round of 16 of the World Cup currently being held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The thunderstorm caused the Egyptian team's training to stop for some time until the team was given the green light to resume by organizers, but the training session, which lasted less than an hour, was not resumed due to weather conditions.

Egypt qualified for the Round of 16 by defeating Australia 4-2 on penalties, while Argentina beat Cape Verde 3-2 in the Round of 32.
