A standard football match lasts 90 minutes , consisting of two halves of 45 minutes each, with a 15-minute halftime break in between. However, the total duration usually extends to about 105 minutes due to stoppage time added by the referee to compensate for injuries, substitutions, and other delays during the match. In knockout games, if the match ends in a draw, there can be extra time of two 15-minute halves, plus a possible penalty shootout, which can bring the total playing time to around 141 minutes or more including stoppage time.
