What is the official time frame of a standard professional soccer match? 🔊
A standard professional soccer match lasts for a total of 90 minutes, divided into two 45-minute halves. Additional time, known as stoppage time, may be added at the referee's discretion to compensate for interruptions in play. The match concludes when the full time is completed, as the primary objective is to score more goals than the opposing team during this period. This time frame is universally recognized and followed in professional soccer competitions.
