2022 World Cup: FIFA plans to extend playing time – Onze d’Afrik
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is likely to be the scene of innovations. After breaking tradition by changing the poster for the opening match, FIFA is now considering extending the playing time to 100 minutes instead of 90.
“The purpose of this measure is to extend the effective playing time. This follows numerous studies. For example, Ajax were knocked out of the UCL by Benfica last month, and the actual playing time in the game was only 54min 39sec. A record. »,
Already with a schedule that many players find too busy, the implementation of this new rule should generate more debate. The next few months will tell us more about this new project announced by FIFA, which once again worries purists concerned about the future of football.
