On the last weekend of July, the “Championship” is going to get into the Guinness Book of Records by organizing the largest exhibition match in the history of football, anyone can become a participant. It is expected that the meeting in Luzhniki will bring together about one and a half thousand football fans who will play in accordance with all FIFA rules, with the exception of one: the number of substitutions in the match is not limited, while each player must spend at least 10 minutes on the field and at least touch the ball once. On this moment the record belongs to the German pharmaceutical company Andreae-Noris Zahn AG: 920 players took part in the match, which took place on June 15-16, 2012.

Longest football match

The match that attracted the largest number of participants lasted about 33 hours, but even such a solid duration is not a record. The best result was set just a month ago by two amateur teams from the French commune of Kerbak. Two teams, made up of 11 field players and 7 substitute players, spent 73 consecutive hours on the field. The number of substitutions was not limited, and therefore reserve players received two-hour rest breaks. During the match, two players were temporarily hospitalized, but the previous record was still broken. The final score of the match is 475:473.

The largest football tournament

It’s one thing to organize an outstanding match, but another thing is a whole tournament in which teams will fight for more than one or even three days in a row. The amateur tournament Copa Telmex, held in 2011 in Mexico, occupies two honorable pages in the Guinness Book of Records. Firstly, the Mexican competition became the longest in the history of football: 10 months and 12 days passed from the first match to the final. Secondly, Copa Telmex gathered the largest number of participants three years ago. 201,287 people, representing 11,777, started the fight for the cup football teams. That's how they love football in Mexico!

Longest ball control

From records set by entire teams, we move on to unique individuals who never scored at the World Championships or won the Champions League, but still entered their names into the Guinness Book of Records. It's no secret that one of the main football skills is ball control. Everyone who tried to play football, of course, tried to hit the ball without letting it fall to the ground. But neither Messi nor Ronaldo tested how long they could do this. And the standard today is the result of the Mexican Abraham Muñoz, who did not put the ball on the ground for 21 hours and one minute. During short rest breaks, the record holder clutched the ball with his knees.

Fastest marathon with a ball

The important skills of any football player are speed and endurance. Field players run an average of 10 kilometers per match, and there is no doubt that they would run a marathon. But no one checked whether professionals could cover more than 40 kilometers while dribbling the ball. Dane Jan Schröder holds a world record in this discipline. In March 2013, he covered 42 kilometers and 195 meters in 3:29.55. But an even more amazing record was set in 1990 by a citizen of Czechoslovakia Jan Skorkovsky. He ran the marathon in 7:18.55... while kicking the ball. Of course, the projectile touched the ground, but when this happened, the future record holder had to go back a few steps.

Best races with a ball on your head

Not everyone can complete a marathon, but almost everyone can complete a 100-meter race. Therefore, it is not surprising that even at such short distance records are recorded regarding masterly ball possession. Perhaps the most interesting of them belongs to the Englishman Daniel Cutting who ran his favorite distance Usain Bolt in 18.53 seconds, held on the head soccer ball. The record was broken in February 2011 at half-time in an English League Three match. Abdul Halim from Bangladesh also excelled at moving with the ball on his head, but he worked for distance rather than speed. In October 2011, he walked 15.2 kilometers without dropping the round one.

The most accurate passers

Finally, let's turn to another important football skill - the ability to make a quick and accurate pass. British Stephen Baptist And James Marwood When playing football together, they probably play lightning-fast “walls” at the opponent’s goal. The fact is that these guys are the holders of the record for the speed of accurate passes to each other. In March 2011, Stephen and James, positioned approximately 10 meters apart, completed a series of 50 accurate passes in 33.45 seconds. An interesting record in the field of re-passing also belongs to the Swedes. Thomas Lundman And Valonu Gashi, who passed headers to each other without losing the ball for 12 minutes 42 seconds.

The greatest height of a caught ball falling

But what book of football records would be complete without success in goalkeeping? There are similar ones in the Guinness Directory. British Gavin Henson And David Seaman During the reconstruction at Wembley Stadium they became the owners of an unusual achievement. Each of them caught a ball falling from a height of 102.5 meters. The game projectile was dropped from a construction crane, and, approaching the ground, it reached a speed of 137 kilometers per hour. Having hit the lawn at such a speed, the ball flew 15 meters into the sky, but the British were not afraid, and set an unusual record one after another.

The best stair climb with caulking

It is unlikely that any football player often has to climb stairs while chasing a ball. However, the Guinness Book of Records also contains such achievements. Already known to us Abraham Muñoz, who is a recognized expert in coining the ball, once climbed 4,698 steps of an escalator without ever dropping it to the ground. However, the most extravagant record in this category is held by Iya Traore from Guinea. He, controlling the ball and walking backwards, climbed the fire escape, installed at an angle of 55 degrees, to a height of 21.5 meters. What people can come up with to become record holders.

The fastest way to hit a ball with your lips

Finally, we can talk about the strangest football-related record. Again we meet our old friend, this time Daniel Cutting, running a hundred meters with a ball on his head. It turns out that this guy actually has a lot of football talents, and one of them is chasing the ball... with his lips. Within a minute, the stuntman threw and caught the standard football projectile lips as much as 153 times. I wonder if Cutting wants to take the record for the longest kiss in football history. This place in the Guinness Book of Records is still free.
