The longest video game marathon playing a soccer game record has previously had seven record holders.

All of them played either Fifa or Pro Evolution Soccer on their attempts.

However, Oside played a mobile game called Dream League Soccer 2023 on his iPhone, which he connected to a TV screen.

During his attempt he played more than 500 matches.

Oside attempted the record to raise money for a local hospital in his hometown of Ijebu Ode in Nigeria.

The rules for all 'longest marathon' records for the Guinness World Records allow five minutes of rest time for each hour of gaming.

In these breaks he was able to eat, nap or go to the toilet.

He said: “I really enjoyed myself playing for 75 hours straight with just some hours of rest.

“It wasn’t an easy task, but I must say it was all fun."
