World Cup Halftime Is Exactly 15 Minutes
FIFA mandates a strict 15-minute break. Here is why the interval matters for players and fans.

FIFA mandates a strict 15-minute halftime interval for every World Cup match. This isn't a suggestion; it's the law of the land. Players recover, managers panic, and you have exactly 900 seconds to hit the fridge before the second half chaos resumes.
The regulation is non-negotiable across the tournament, ensuring a standardized reset for all teams competing at the highest level. Whether it is the group stage opener or the final, the clock stops for exactly fifteen minutes. This consistency allows broadcasters to plan their ad slots and fans to plan their bathroom breaks with military precision.
