Football Match in Southampton Lasts a World-Record 102 Hours, Finishes 910-725

We are tired just reading about this match—imagine playing in it.

Thirty-six brave souls in Southampton decided to play nonstop football for 102 hours for charity and have now earned themselves a place in Guinness World Records. 

The players from Testlands Support Project started their 11-a-side match Sunday evening at Southampton's St Mary's Stadium and only finished in the early hours of Friday morning once they had broken the previous record by an hour. 

The final score? 910-725.

Players substituted in and out of the game to allow for brief naps inside tents, but even that proved difficult as organiser Luke Newman told the BBC:

"

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.

"

A fantastic effort from all involved.
