How long is an international field hockey game?

Answer 1

A college Field Hockey game has two 35 minute halves. The halftime is 7 minutes long. This totals one hour and 17 minutes. This will vary a little with time outs and penalty calls.

Answer 2

A Field Hockey game has two halves of 35 minutes (this is often shortened for younger grades and some tournaments) with a halftime of 5 minutes (also often increased to 10 minutes in higher grades and internationals). Time is stopped at certain points in the game - at the umpire's discretion only - for injuries, penalty strokes, personal penalties and disruptions to the game.

Depending on competition rules, the game may be lengthened by a set amount of time in the event of a draw/tie; in international competition this is often a period or two of 7.5 minutes, ending as soon as one team scores. If the score is still tied, the game moves to penalty strokes where 5 players from each team take alternate turns to score a goal from the penalty spot against the goalkeeper. If scores are still tied after the 10 strokes (5 from each team) then the game is set to sudden death - the first team to fall behind in score loses.

Thus, a game normally lasts around 80 minutes. An injury or other timestop can bring this up to 90 minutes. A very badly behaved game can take this further to 95. A game that requires extra time will extend the game by up to 20 minutes, and strokes can add another 10 minutes (more for sudden death). The longest a game might take is then about 120 minutes, or 2 hours from starting whistle to finishing goal.

Answer 3

A Field Hockey Game has two halves each running for 35min with a 5min break at half time.

In some cases the game may run for less time but this all depends on many factors, in some Festival Tournaments the games maybe shorter due to time restrictions and number of teams in the competition.

Answer 4

The game time is divided into two equal halves of 35 minutes each, with five minutes for half-time

In the Euro League, some games ares split into four quarters to make watching on TV easier. But this is not common.
