Over 1000 young football players from over 100 countries participated in the largest online football event in history. The new world record was recorded live during a master class by world football legend Roberto Carlos, Global Ambassador of Gazprom International Children’s Social Programme Football for Friendship.

On December 5, 2020, a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS achievement was registered as part of the final events of the Eighth Season of Football for Friendship. Young Participants from over 100 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, Australia and Oceania, along with world-famous football stars, took part in the most popular online football event in the world.

The event lasting over two and a half hours with live video feeds from France, Brazil, Russia, Uruguay, Pakistan, Ireland, Cyprus, Peru, India, Guyana, and Spain was organized by the global operator of the Football for Friendship programme, AGT Communication Group. The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator was responsible for the accuracy in counting the event participants, registering the record in real time from London. Participants from over 100 countries repeated warm-ups, tricks, and shared their achievements with each other online. A total of 1 009 master class participants were recorded. Among the co-authors of the world record are the World Cup winner Roberto Carlos, six-time world football freestyle champion Melody Donchet, two-time world football freestyle champion Anton Pavlinov, France freestyle champion Andreas Cetkovic and dozens of football masters and world-famous freestylers from different countries.

“We have witnessed Football for Friendship officially setting the record for the Most users in a football/soccer video hangout. What a success! All the guidelines were properly followed during the online event, and the current record of 500 users has been broken! Our congratulations on achieving this new title!  On behalf of GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS Adjudicator, confirming the achievement of the world record.

The global master class became a beautiful way to round off the first season of the international Stadium Is Where I Am YouTube show, launched by Football for Friendship. From July to December, the world’s best freestylers and footballers taught children football tricks, shared the secrets of sporting skills, and gave away unique prizes.

“The Stadium Is Where I Am is a very useful project, where you can share your experience with young people from all over the world! It is a great honour for me to inspire young people and pass on my love for freestyle football so that this sport can continue developing further. I hope they will continue training and never give up, just like me”, supports the initiative the reigning freestyle champion Melody Donchet, sharing her impressions.

In 2019, the Gazprom International Children’s Social Programme Football for Friendship obtained another GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the Most nationalities in a football (soccer) training session in history. In 2020, participants of the Football for Friendship programme from all over the world once again proved that you can overcome any barriers in achieving your goals.

The 2020 season of the Football for Friendship programme is held online. The season finale will be broadcast live on December 9, 2020.

  • UK sportsbook and casino Midnite provided free away supporter coach travel for Southampton fans for their 460-mile-round trip to Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane

  • Saints heroes Matt Le Tissier, James Beattie and Francis Benali joined supporters on board

  • Hyper-growth bookmaker Midnite is a sponsor of both Southampton and Sheffield United

Midnite, the fastest growing bookmaker in the UK, provided supporter coach travel for 100 Southampton supporters, as they set off on a 460-mile round trip to watch their beloved Saints take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Midnite, who are the official training kit partner of Southampton and the principal partner of Sheffield United for the 2025/26 season, created The Midnite Express, offering luxury travel filled with entertainment along the way for Tuesday night’s EFL Championship match.

The lucky Saints fans were joined on The Midnite Express coaches by Southampton legends, Matt Le Tissier, James Beattie, and Francis Benali.

With DJ sets, football quizzes and Q&As throughout, fans were treated to a unique experience, all designed to create unforgettable moments for these loyal supporters, while easing the financial strain that comes with away supporter travel.

And Saints fans went home happy as a 2-1 win meant they took the three points back to the South Coast.

Le Tissier, who scored 100 goals in 270 top-flight appearances for Saints, said: “With the cost of living crisis that we’ve got going on in this country at the moment, with the train services, it’s really difficult for fans to get to and from these away games.

“And The Midnite Express initiative of putting coaches on for the fans to get up to Sheffield United was absolutely brilliant. We had a good laugh!”

Former England and Southampton striker, James Beattie, added: “It was great to be part of The Midnite Express and travel down with the Southampton fans. We had a very fun journey and the fans put in a proper shift for such a long journey.”

Andrew Mook, Head of Brand Marketing at Midnite, added: “Everbody hates a long commute, but we wanted to create something for Southampton fans with a sprinkle of Midnite magic.

“These fans are what makes football what it is, and we wanted to reward them with a day that they won’t soon forget by spending the journey with Saints legends and fellow fans. The feedback has been brilliant, and we’re pleased to have been able to ease the financial burden while bringing fans closer to the teams they love.

“The match marked a unique and special moment for Midnite as both of our sponsored clubs met for the first time. We’re already looking forward to the return fixture in January, when we’ll be running the Midnite Express, this time for Sheffield United fans.”
