SGThe halftime interval during Sunday's FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina is expected to last more than 15 minutes due to the setup and dismantling of a 11-minute halftime entertainment show. Broadcasting sources reported that installing the stage for the show would take approximately seven minutes, though the time required to remove the equipment and clear the field before the second half remains uncertain. FIFA's regulations, based on IFAB rules, limit halftime intervals to 'not exceeding 15 minutes,' but the tournament's own rules mention a '15-minute interval' without explicitly stating a maximum duration. FIFA has not yet provided clarification on how the show will comply with these regulations. This marks the first halftime entertainment show in a World Cup final, aligning with practices seen in major American sports events.
