With the 2022 FIFA men’s World Cup in full force, casual soccer fans might wonder how long halftime is during a soccer match.
Halftime is set at 15 minutes between the first period and second period, according to The Football Association. The time does not exceed 15 minutes.
There will not be any halftime performances at the World Cup, meaning these 15 minutes are solely for the teams to have a water break and strategize with each other.
In a soccer match, halftime marks the only time in which the clock is fully stopped.
