How long was the longest football match in history: it ended with a score of 910:725
The standard duration of a football match is 90 minutes (plus a few minutes of added time).
In addition, if the regular time ends in a draw, two additional "fifteen-minute periods" may be required.
Of course, it could even lead to a protracted penalty shootout.
But in any case, it is difficult to imagine that an official match would last more than 3 hours.
But an unofficial match can easily last... several days.
Such an event took place in the summer of 2015 in the UK.
What is known about the longest football match
The game was held at St Mary's Stadium in the English city of Southampton.
The match was organised by one of England's charities.
The representatives of this organization were divided into two teams.
Amateur footballers spent… 102 hours on the field!
Of course, players needed breaks to eat, rest and recover, so substitutions were very common during the match.
The game ended with a score of 910:725. The football players in red uniforms won.
The aim of the match organisers was to raise money for charity. And a good result was achieved: thanks to the unusual show, 25,000 pounds sterling were collected.
