A standard football match usually lasts 90 minutes. The game consists of two 45-minute halves. The FIFA Laws of the Game determine this duration. However, it is important to note that the actual playing time may be longer due to additional time added by the referee for stoppages caused by injuries or substitutes. The fourth official announces the additional time, called “injury time” or “stoppage time,” at the end of each half. So, while the normal duration is 90 minutes, the overall time elapsed during a match may differ.
