Before the 2022 Qatar World Cup, FIFA put on its agenda the idea of increasing the duration of the matches to 100 minutes in order to increase the duration of the ball in play.
As a result of the research done to the analysis companies, it was learned that the ball remained in the game for about 60 minutes, even in Champions League matches, and this rate was 60.2%.
According to the news of Corriere dello Sport; FIFA wants to make a move to increase the time the ball stays in play, but it needs to get the green light from IFAB, the legal leg of football.
