Tournament organizers have officially confirmed that the halftime break in the World Cup final will be extended to 17 minutes, instead of the standard 15. This decision differs from the usual format applied in football matches.
The primary reason for this adjustment is a major 11-minute musical show. The performance will feature international stars including Shakira, Madonna, Justin Bieber, and BTS. The event is expected to draw a massive global audience.
The remaining six minutes of the break are allocated for the installation and removal of the stage, as well as essential pitch maintenance, including watering the grass to ensure the surface remains in optimal condition for the players.
The final match will see Spain face Argentina in the battle for the championship trophy.
