The IFAB (International Football Commission), the body responsible for the football constitution, will discuss the possibility of extending the half-time break in football, and increasing it from 15 to 25 minutes.
At the core of the idea (whose main motivation of course is an increase in financial income) is the attempt to emulate the Super Bowl - with the long break allowing for a live performance between the halves, or any other musical performance that will provide entertainment for the audience.
Members of the International Football Association Board to meet tomorrow (Thursday) along with representatives of FIFA.
Proposal raised by CONMEBOL, the South American Union, is currently preparing for the Copa Libertadores finals Falmiiras and Flamengo, which believes the extension will contribute to the attractiveness of recess games. United States, of course, many Super Bowl spectators are waiting for the half-time event - an event that has become as intriguing and prestigious as the game itself.
In the NFL the half-time break is about 12 minutes, while in the Super Bowl it can last up to 30 minutes.

It should be noted that at the moment it seems that the offer will not be accepted.
Since the publication of the report, social media have expressed strong opposition to the long and tedious wait for the game to return, and IFAB officials themselves have also expressed concerns that the long break could cause injuries to footballers.
At the moment the law says that "players are entitled to a break in half, no more than 15 minutes", when the same attempt in 2009 to extend the break to 20 minutes was postponed.
So FIFA tried to initiate the move, which of course aimed to allow more advertisements and increase revenue. CONMEBOL officials argue that such a move could diversify the spectators at the games and therefore increase it. The quality of the game.In the Super Bowl, as is well known, the commercials that are sold at half-time around the time of the musical show bring in huge sums.
