FIFA plans a Super Bowl-style halftime show for the 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
The interval will be extended beyond the usual 15 minutes, possibly requiring an IFAB exemption.
The extended break includes stage setup, a star-studded performance, and pitch restoration.
The plan has sparked debate over player welfare, match rhythm, and football's entertainment focus.
