Four quarters would allow more commercial breaks during televised matches, increasing revenue generation.
FIFA allows for short cooling or water breaks between each half for matches played in hot weather.
There has been a push for four quarters to make the game familiar to American audiences who are used to such structure in sports like American football and basketball.
The 90-minute rule has been in effect since 1866, so it is unlikely to change soon.
