LONDON :Matches spanning 100 minutes could become commonplace with FIFA president Gianni Infantino calling for more accurate calculations regarding added time to be implemented in competitions around the world.
"We have to ensure that also the application of the laws of the game are universal. We will monitor leagues all over the world to ensure proper stoppage time is played."Statistics supplied by Opta in 2021 showed that English Premier League matches were seeing 'actual playing time' of well under 60 minutes.
Infantino, who gave an impassioned speech on the eve of the World Cup defending Qatar over criticism of its human rights record, said he wanted 'dialogue with everyone involved'."What we will try to do better this time is to search and look for dialogue with everyone involved - the captains, the federations, the players generally, FIFA - from all over the world to capture the different sensitivities.
