The rules of soccer stipulate that a FIFA World Cup 2022 group match is divided into a "first half and a second half", with each half lasting 45 minutes and a 15-minute interval between the two halves to allow players to catch their breath.

The rules of soccer also stipulate that during the course of a FIFA World Cup 2022 match, substitutions, injury treatment or urging video assistant referees to assist with decisions will not stop the clock to stop the game, but after the end of each regular half (45th minute of the first half and 90th minute of the second half), the fourth referee on the sidelines will raise a sign to remind the field how much more extra time is needed.

Injury Time Out

The rules of soccer also stipulate that in the middle of a 2022 World Cup match, substitutions, injury treatment or urging video assistant referees to assist with decisions will not stop the clock to stop the game, but after each half of regulation time (the 45th minute of the first half and the 90th minute of the second half), the fourth referee on the sidelines will raise a sign to remind the field how much more extra time is needed, called injury time.

Usually, each FIFA World Cup 2022 match has a different amount of extra time, unless there is a player who requires prolonged treatment or emergency medical evacuation due to a major injury, then there will be more than 10 minutes of extra time. According to soccer rules, after the scheduled extra time, the referee has the right to blow the whistle to end the game, but usually it will be extended by 30 seconds to one minute depending on the situation on the field.

Knockout Round Match Time

The FIFA World Cup 2022 knockout rounds require a single match to determine who will advance to the next round. In addition to the original 90 minutes of regular time plus extra time, "overtime" and "12-yard penalty shootout" have been added to help the two teams determine the winner.

If two teams are tied in the regular season, a 15-minute overtime period will be added to the first and second halves of the match. If the game is still tied at the end of overtime, a 12-yard penalty shootout will be held immediately, with both teams taking turns shooting 12-yard penalty shots until a winner is determined.
