The final was originally scheduled to be held at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo at 11:00 local time. Both teams requested a later kickoff time due to concerns about excessive heat; as the National Stadium was already booked for athletics events in the evening, the game was moved to 21:00 local time at the International Stadium Yokohama in Yokohama.[1][2]
