The kickoff of the Copa America match between Mexico and Ecuador in Mexico City, originally scheduled for Wednesday night (Jerusalem time), has been further delayed as a thunderstorm continues over the stadium. i24NEWS reported the latest postponement, noting that no new start time has been announced.

Organizers and officials have not yet confirmed when play might begin.
