World Cup 2026: Stoppage time updates
Fifa's referees' chief, Pierluigi Collina, has implemented measures at the 2026 World Cup to reduce time-wasting and improve match flow. These include countdowns on goal-kicks, throw-ins, and substitutions, leading to fewer stoppages and shorter game durations compared to previous tournaments. Early data indicates the changes are effective, with increased ball-in-play time and a more consistent match tempo, suggesting the strategy is successful so far.
