Guinness World Record

A new level of endurance

6:22:59

Six hours.
Twenty-two minutes.
Fifty-nine seconds.

The longest time continuously controlling a football with alternating feet.

What began with a challenge of precision and repetition evolved into a test of endurance.

For 6 hours, 22 minutes and 59 seconds, Sajan continuously controlled a football using alternating feet — pushing concentration, technique and physical resilience far beyond the demands of a traditional record attempt.

Thousands of touches.
Hours of focus.
One extraordinary achievement.

8,849m

The top
of the world.

In 2025, Sajan Dangol stood on the summit of Mount Everest — the highest point on Earth.

The achievement represented a completely different challenge from football, but demanded many of the same qualities: preparation, discipline, patience, resilience and the willingness to continue when every step became harder.

“Everest taught me what football had already been teaching me for years:
The biggest victories are built one step, one touch and one day at a time.”

What comes next?

The journey
doesn’t end
at the summit.

9,218 touches.

6 hours, 22 minutes and 59 seconds.

8,849 metres.

Each number represents a challenge completed.

But the greatest achievement may still be the one that comes next.

Dream.
Believe.
Work.
Persevere.
Achieve.
