According to ESPN reporter Diego Monroig, the halftime of the Copa America final will be extended from 15 minutes to 25 minutes due to a special performance by Colombian pop star Shakira.
The 2024 Copa America final will be played on July 15 at 8:00 AM at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, with Argentina facing Colombia. The Copa America organizers have announced that Colombian singer Shakira will be performing live at the final to entertain the fans.
Having the opportunity to see Shakira perform live is a great thing, but it might cause a rather unusual situation in this year’s Copa America.
As everyone knows, the halftime of a football game is always 15 minutes, no more, no less. But now, due to the organizers scheduling Shakira’s performance for halftime, 15 minutes won’t be enough. Therefore, the halftime of this game will be extended from 15 to 25 minutes.
From a game perspective, extending the halftime allows both teams to have more time to recover. However, having a 25-minute halftime is unprecedented in an international competition like the Copa America.
