The intention of the South American entity is to extend the rest time in the intermission of the final matches of the competitions. All football matches have a 15 minute interval.

The idea of ​​Conmebol is that this period be increased to 25 minutes. “A slightly longer halftime would allow a high-quality artistic spectacle to be offered to fans present in the stadium and those who follow the television broadcast, as happens in other sports, with great receptivity,” says the letter to Infantino.

“In addition, with this modification, the athletes would have a better physical recovery and the technicians would have the opportunity to make more precise adjustments or give clearer instructions, with which the level of competitiveness and the quality of the game would increase,” adds Domínguez in the document. .
