Soccer World Records

Lily, a golden retriever, and Raz, a border collie, chase a black soccer ball around their backyard in Melbourne, Australia, each with a toy in its mouth. Lily strikes the ball with a front paw at about 14 and 25 seconds into the 54-second clip, and Raz paws it on at about 23, 36 and 51 seconds, with family members rolling or kicking it back into play between turns. Checked frame by frame, the single continuous take shows both dogs kicking the ball with their paws, for a total of 2 dogs. Neither dog drops its toy to do it.

Raz, a border collie, trots up to a wooden equestrian cross-country table in a grassy field in Melbourne, Australia, crouches at its base and scrambles onto the top, where a red-and-white soccer ball is waiting. Standing on the tabletop, he paws the ball over the front edge and it drops to the grass below. Timed frame by frame from the video, 1.2 seconds pass between his push off the ground and the ball leaving the table. The jump is built for horses; Raz handles it like a step.

Raz, a border collie, starts this clip lying on the artificial turf of a Melbourne, Australia backyard with a tennis ball in his mouth and a mini soccer goal behind him. When a small basketball-patterned ball is tossed in from beside the camera, he rises onto his hind legs, heads it straight up off his snout, then rears up again as it falls, cushions it against his chest and pins it to the turf under a front paw. Checked frame by frame, the 9-second clip is one continuous take, with about a second between the header and the trap. The tennis ball never leaves his mouth.

Raz, a border collie from Melbourne, Australia, played out every match of the 2026 World Cup on a backyard pitch of artificial turf, dribbling a soccer ball with his paws into a mini goal dressed with the two teams' flags. Where the ball ends up decides each result: against the yellow cones on one side is a win for that team, down the middle is a draw, and the draw option disappears once the knockout rounds begin. Checked match by match in the 11-minute compilation, filmed over several sessions by day and night, Raz settles all 104 matches from the group stage to a best-of-three final, plus a few extra runs to break ties in the group standings. His pick to lift the trophy: England, over the Netherlands.

Raz, a border collie in Melbourne, Australia, leaps a timber rail to chase a red-and-white soccer ball, then turns and dribbles it back across the grass. He rolls the ball beneath the rail and jumps over after it, completing the out-and-back in 9 seconds, timed from the video from his outward takeoff to his return landing. The ball takes the low road; Raz takes the high one.

Raz, a border collie, works a small black-and-white soccer ball around a backyard training pen of artificial turf and red panels in Melbourne, Australia, with a tennis ball held in his mouth throughout. Partway through the 20-second run he sets one front paw on top of the ball, rolls it across, and passes it straight to his other front paw in one quick motion, the sole roll soccer players use to shift the ball from foot to foot. Checked frame by frame, the clip is one continuous, unedited take, and the whole move lasts under a second. According to his owner, this is the trick that gave Rollover Raz Entertainment its name.

Raz, a border collie, waits at the mouth of a blue dog agility tunnel in a backyard in Melbourne, Australia, at night, with a tennis ball in his mouth and a red soccer ball just inside the entrance. He dives in, pushes the ball the full length of the tunnel out of the camera's view, and pops out the far end as the ball rolls on into a mini soccer goal. Timed from the video, from the first frame with Raz standing still to the moment the ball is in the net, the run takes 5 seconds. Part agility run, part shot on goal.

Raz, a border collie, dribbles a red-and-white soccer ball across a sports field in Melbourne, Australia, steering it with nose and front paws while the owner follows with a phone camera. Raz leaves the ball once, about nine seconds into the 51-second clip, then comes back and keeps it rolling for 38 unbroken seconds before trotting away from it. That stretch, timed from the video, is the record. Four legs, zero hands, no problem.

William Cain sits cross-legged on a backyard deck in Melbourne with a tethered soccer training ball resting between his knees, then slaps it with alternating open hands at a furious pace. The whole burst lasts just under ten seconds from the first hit to the last. We counted 110 slaps from the clip, matching each audible hit against the footage. That works out to about eleven slaps every second.

William Cain kicks a soccer training ball on a cord straight up in his Melbourne living room and jumps to meet it with his head on the way down. Counted frame by frame, the ball leaves his foot and lands on his head 22 frames later, 0.73 seconds at the video's 30 frames per second. Blink and you'd miss the whole thing.

A young player heads a soccer training ball twice in a row in a Melbourne living room, holding the ball's cord in one hand to control it. Slowed down frame by frame, the clip shows both headers landing less than a quarter of a second apart, comfortably inside the one-second window. A few warm-up swings come first, then the ball drops and two quick nods send it back up.

Danail Parvanov kept a rugby ball in the air for 220 consecutive foot touches in Sofia, Bulgaria. A rugby ball's oval shape makes every bounce unpredictable, which is what separates this from ordinary soccer keepie uppies: each touch has to correct the wobble the last one created. He averaged about 2.4 touches per second across a single unbroken 90-second take, with a cadence consistent from first touch to last.

Danail Parvanov juggled a size 1 soccer ball with his legs for 30 minutes and 5 seconds in Sofia, Bulgaria. A size 1 ball is the smallest standard football, roughly half the diameter of a match ball, which makes half an hour of continuous leg juggling a serious feat of touch and stamina. RecordSetter verified the video as a single unbroken take: fixed camera, no cuts, and an on-screen clock advancing without discontinuity from start to finish.

Xavier Wiggins walked to the home ground of all 92 Premier League and Football League clubs in 92 days, setting out from Swansea on 2 August 2025 and finishing at Home Park, Plymouth, on 1 November 2025. His Day 92 video shows him in his orange Walk92 hoodie striding the last stretch with fellow walkers clapping behind him, sitting in the Plymouth Argyle dugout and meeting the club mascot, Pilgrim Pete. The route covered roughly 2,000 miles with four rest days, and his day-by-day videos, club charities and local press along the way confirm the arrivals. Nearly a marathon a day for three months, all to spotlight the community work of football clubs.

Landon and his brother had a staring contest that lasted one minute, 12.50 seconds. They held the contest while wearing soccer jerseys.

Alexandre Mairano named all champion coaches of the Football World Cup in 28.50 seconds.
