100-minute matches, which were common for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, should become common in club matches, according to a meeting of the governing body responsible for setting the rules at the International Gaming Federation.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) annual meeting, held in London on Sunday, stressed the need for accurate stoppage time to compensate for injury stoppages, substitutions, time wasting and goal celebrations.
In this regard, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said: “We want to fight the waste of time, we want the fans to enjoy the match.”
“We will be monitoring leagues around the world to ensure that proper cutoff times are played… I don’t think any enforcement action can be taken,” he added.
IFAP members agreed that they did not want to drown out the goal celebrations.
The IFAB is made up of the four British Football Associations and representatives of FIFA, and is the body that lays down the laws of the game of football.
And at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, in almost every half, adding five minutes as a replacement for lost time was standard, as the referees followed FIFA’s instructions to accurately calculate the added time to compensate for the stoppage, which is what most matches did. last one hundred minutes or more instead of ninety minutes.
