World Cup final half-time to last up to 25 minutes

The half-time break in Sunday's World Cup final is expected to last between 20 and 25 minutes.

Axar.az reportus, citing BBC, an 11-minute Super Bowl-style show, co-headlined by Madonna, Shakira and K-pop boy band BTS, will take place during the interval at New York New Jersey Stadium.

While sources within World Cup organisers FIFA suggest the break will be around 20 minutes, it is understood that one option is for the normal 15-minute half-time break and then the planned 11-minute show.

The laws of the game, governed by IFAB (the International Football Association Board), state that players are entitled to a half-time break "not exceeding 15 minutes".

Half-time of last year's Club World Cup final, also organised by FIFA and held in New Jersey, lasted a total of 24 minutes due to a performance featuring Coldplay, J Balvin, Doja Cat, Tems and Emmanuel Kelly.

Spain booked their place in the final by beating France 2-0 in the first semi-final in Dallas on Tuesday.
