Futsal is played with two halves of 20 minutes each. The clock stops each time the ball goes out of play and when play is stopped by the referee, so the game can take much longer than 40 minutes to complete. Each team is entitled to a one-minute timeout during each half, a halftime interval of up to 15 minutes, and periods of extra time in the event of a tie when there must be a winner. Some recreational and youth leagues use a 24 minute running clock because of the extra expense involved in having a timekeeper.
