With severe weather possible Saturday, soccer fans heading to the FIFA Fan Fest in Kansas City are wondering what happens if conditions turn dangerous.

KC2026 says it has a plan in place for a variety of weather scenarios and is "closely monitoring conditions in coordination with the National Weather Service."

The organization says decisions will be made based on real-time conditions.

"In the event of an early closure or evacuation from FIFA Fan Festival, attendees should follow instructions from security personnel and messages provided through video boards and the public address system," a KC2026 spokesperson said.

KC2026 will also provide updates on its official social media and web channels.

The FIFA Fan Fest is hosting a watch party for the Brazil vs. Morocco game at 5 p.m. Saturday, followed by a Chainsmokers concert at 8 p.m.
