The longest marathon playing five-a-side football (soccer) is 77 hours 1 minute, and was achieved by a team from Theodor Herzl Schools, in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, between 26 March and 28 March 2023.
The team attempted this record because they have identified resilience as a quality which the young adults of today are struggling with, and as a forward thinking school, we want to make sure we equip our young people with the skills required for a healthy future. Football is a popular sport at our school and motivating our young players to challenge themselves to a world record, and to inspire those in the school and in the greater community and maybe even the country, to see that if they work hard through difficult times, they can achieve great things.
