The half-time break at Sunday’s World Cup final could stretch to 30 minutes, as football’s governing body pushes ahead with a Super Bowl-style interval show despite the practice breaching the sport’s own rules, The Telegraph reports.
According to the report, broadcasters BBC and ITV are preparing for the extended break, which would combine an 11-minute performance segment with their standard 15 minutes of pundit analysis.
The Laws of the Game cap any match interval at 15 minutes, but FIFA already exceeded that limit at last year’s Club World Cup, when half-time ran for 25 minutes, the newspaper said.
FIFA is reportedly aiming to build a half-time spectacle comparable to the Super Bowl’s, and broadcasters expect Sunday’s break to run even longer, potentially making the final the longest edition of the tournament’s showpiece match on record
