A New World Record For The Longest Football Match Has Been Set by Solomon009(m): 7:30am On Jun 06, 2015 |
The players, from the Testlands Support Project, a Southampton charity, played on until 00:30 BST on Friday to break the previous record, of 101 hours. The players took turns to take breaks to eat, get physiotherapy and sleep. They began the 11-a-side match at 18:30 on Sunday, scoring over 1,600 goals. The Reds went on to beat the Whites 910-725. Organizer Luke Newman, who was also one of the 36 who took part, said: "The last time I slept was the night before last night and that was probably about an hour. "Monday night was so bad - I think it must have rained from about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, through to about 11 o'clock in the morning - it was just solid rain. "We had to play for a 12-hour stint so we couldn't change our clothes. "The tents all got absolutely soaking wet. The clothes inside and the sleeping bags were just drenched." http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-33010541
