World Cup Final Half-Time Break Will Exceed 15 Minutes But Not Reach 30

FIFA has informed the World Cup finalists — Spain and Argentina — that the half-time break at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford will be longer than the standard 15 minutes, but will not extend to 30 minutes. Earlier speculation suggested the high-profile Halftime Show could push the break to half an hour. FIFA has bent its usual rules to accommodate the entertainment segment.
