More than 15 minutes. It has been revealed how long the half-time break will last in the 2026 World Cup final

On Sunday, July 19, football fans will witness the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, a match that is already set to make history.

Details: During the half-time interval, fans will be treated to a star-studded entertainment show featuring performers including Shakira, Justin Bieber, Madonna, BTS and others.

According to Martyn Ziegler, the break will last 30 minutes—at least twice as long as the standard half-time interval. It will be the first time in World Cup history that the half-time break has been extended to this length.

Meanwhile, Gianni Infantino's authority in world football could soon face its first major challenge in many years. Within UEFA, there is growing support for putting forward a candidate to challenge the current FIFA president in the next election.

Reminder: FIFA president Gianni Infantino is continuing to push his proposal to expand the 2030 FIFA World Cup to 64 participating teams.
