FIFA may extend the half-time break for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final match from 15 to 30 minutes in order to organize a larger musical show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey..

It turns out that the program can take the fate of light stars, among them Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira, BTS, Burna Boy and other popular Vikons. The organizers are planning to take a break from the show just before the Super Bowl final..

However, such an initiative is in accordance with the Rules of the game, which ensure maximum triviality of breaks between halves for 15 minutes.

At the same time, FIFA was already approaching the price norm for the hour of several international tournaments, including the club championship and the final of the 2024 Copa America.

Critics of the idea note that such a painful pause could have a negative impact on the physical fitness of football players, who will be more stressed without playing practice. FIFA did not officially comment on information about possible changes to the regulations of the final match.
