WARSAW, Poland — Poland's final warmup game ahead of the World Cup will not be held at the National Stadium as planned due to a construction defect. Poland's Football Association says the game with Chile on Wednesday will now be held at the Legia Warsaw Stadium. Poland's sports minister says that the National Stadium's architects and builders have advised the immediate closure of the venue because it requires urgent repairs. A growing crack has been revealed in one of the metal structures that support the roof. Experts will come up with repair plans on Monday.
