UEFA Chief Announces No Longer Added Times for Champions League
UEFA’s Chief of Football, Zvonimir Boban, confirmed that the upcoming season’s Champions League games will not adopt the practice of extended added time at the end of each half. This decision counters a directive by the International Football Association Board aimed at preventing time-wasting, a trend first seen during the 2022 World Cup and subsequently implemented in various domestic leagues, including the Premier League. Boban emphasized player safety as the critical factor behind this choice.
