On Saturday, May 23, 2026, a massive group of participants gathered at the Lakeshore campus of Humber Polytechnic in Toronto to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest game of human foosball. The event saw hundreds of players acting as foosball figures, attached to bars and moving together to control a giant ball on an oversized field.
Record-Breaking Event
The attempt was organized to bring the community together and promote physical activity. Participants were strapped onto horizontal bars, replicating the classic tabletop game on a human scale. The successful record was verified by Guinness World Records officials.
Community Involvement
Students, staff, and local residents joined the effort, with many expressing excitement about being part of a world record. The event also raised funds for local charities, adding a philanthropic element to the achievement.
According to organizers, the record-breaking game lasted several hours, with participants rotating in and out to maintain energy and enthusiasm. The final number of players exceeded the previous record, though specific figures have yet to be released.
The Canadian Press reported that the event was a vibrant spectacle, with colorful uniforms and cheering crowds. Humber Polytechnic officials praised the teamwork and spirit displayed by all involved.
