Soccer fans are used to frequent pauses in the game. Referees blow the whistle for fouls, players take time returning the ball or simply simulate injuries. "UTD Arena" counted which most powerful leagues on the planet have the most pure playing time, i.e. when players kick the ball on the field. At the top of the list is the second most powerful Netherlands league "Eerstie Divisie" (58:04 min.), which was approximately three minutes ahead of the main country's championship. Following are the championships of Brazil, France, and Turkey. The last two places are taken by both leagues of Portugal, where only about 49 minutes are played.
