Best Answer

The additional time added to the end of each period of play, often called injury time or stoppage time, is the amount of time that the referee has determined needs to be added because of substitutions, assessment of injuries and removal of injured players, time wasting, and any other cause at the discretion of the referee.


There is no standard amount of time that should or must be added for any particular event. A common belief is that 30 seconds are added for every substitution, but this is incorrect.


Time is only added for events that are not natural in the course of play. Taking a few extra seconds to set up the perfect corner kick is perfectly natural, but waiting on a goal kick to run down the clock is not.
