Are clocks stopped for cooling breaks in international football?

In international football, cooling breaks do not stop the match clock. Any pause is recovered in added time, even as ad breaks have appeared during recent World Cup warm-ups.

L'Équipe notes there will be one cooling break per half at the World Cup. France’s friendly with Northern Ireland paused around the 24th minute despite about 15 degrees in Villeneuve-d'Ascq.

The stoppage became a window for adverts on TF1, a first during a live match in France.

The channel cut away at 24:37 and returned a little over a minute later, when the clock read 25:50.

That lost time was accounted for in stoppage time, with three minutes shown by the fourth official, even though little had happened in the half. A similar pause had occurred days earlier against Côte d'Ivoire, a match France lost 1-2.
