Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca hit out at the Club World Cup organizers and suggested the United States is not a suitable host for the competition after his team’s last-16 win over Benfica was disrupted by a two-hour weather delay.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca criticized FIFA for holding the Club World Cup in the United States after his club’s match against Benfica was delayed for two hours due to lightning and took nearly five hours to complete.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca has labelled the Club World Cup’s storm delays a “joke” and questioned whether some American cities are “the right place” to host games in a major tournament. Weather conditions in Charlotte forced a near-two-hour-delay to Chelsea’s round-of-16 clash with Benfica on Saturday evening before the Premier League team ran out 4-1 winners in extra time.
