\nFIFA\u2019s half-time show during Sunday\u2019s World Cup final is expected to last a longer than previously thought.
\nAn 11-minute mini concert inspired by the Super Bowl was previously announced, co-headlined by Madonna, Shakira and BTS at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
\nThe Laws of the Game, governed by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) state that players are allowed a half-time break \u2018not exceeding 15 minutes\u2019.

\nHowever, FIFA already bent the rules at last year\u2019s Club World Cup with a half-time show that lasted 25 minutes.
\nLast month, reports suggested that broadcasters around the world were becoming increasingly frustrated with FIFA over its failure to confirm the length of the World Cup final\u2019s half-time show.
\nA report by The Guardian said that several World Cup rights holders had made multiple requests for clarification about the duration of the half-time interval, but received no response. The uncertainty has reportedly created problems for commercial broadcasters, whose advertising teams need to know how much commercial inventory they can offer to clients.
\nSome rights holders assumed the musical performance would be similar in length to the NFL\u2019s Super Bowl half-time show, lasting around 12 to 15 minutes. However, concerns over the time required to set up and dismantle the stage have led some broadcast experts to fear that the interval could be significantly longer.
\nSome reports suggest the half-time show could last as long as 30 minutes, which would make the final the longest ever edition.
\nThe final is set to begin at 8pm on Sunday evening, 3pm local time. There will be a closing ceremony starting at 18:30pm local time (1:30pm) which will have performances from Tom Cruise, Laura Pausini, Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams and IShowSpeed. Jennifer Hudson will sing the national anthem of the United States.
