FIFA shuffles seven Cup start times

By Associated Press in Costa do Sauipe, Brazil | China Daily | Updated: 2013-12-09 07:36

FIFA switched the scheduled kickoff times of seven World Cup matches on Saturday after meeting with broadcasters, having refused earlier requests made by the FIFPro union to protect players' health.

The main change involves England versus. Italy, which was due to start at 9 pm local time.

That high-profile match will now kick off three hours earlier at 6 pm in the hot and humid Amazonian jungle city of Manaus.
