Question Number: 17032Law 7 - Match Duration 10/1/2007RE: Under 15 acquanetta oliver of oakland, california usa asks...how long is a full soccer game Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol For men's leagues, 2 halves of 45 minutes each. Youth and women's leagues may modify the length of the half. The referee may add time to the end of each half to compensate for time wasted by such things as injuries and misconduct.
Some leagues will have overtime periods if the game is tied at the end of the 2nd half. In professional or international play, the length of the overtime periods is 15 minutes each. There must be 2 periods, and they must both be played to completion.
