The world’s largest game of human foosball has been played in Ontario, Canada. The event happened on 23 May at Humber Polytechnic Lakeshore Campus West in Etobicoke. It was organised by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

Human foosball is like the table game foosball, but with real people. Players hold on to giant horizontal poles and try to kick a football into a large goal. At this event, 254 people took part.

The event was held to celebrate the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Ontario’s sport minister, Neil Lumsden, said football is about teamwork, energy and shared experiences. He said human foosball brought those ideas to life in a fun way.

Guinness World Records confirmed that the event set a new record. The giant game gave players and spectators a memorable sporting moment.

After a storm, rubbish washed onto the local beach near Ōhope. A group of students decided to help with a clean-up before the weekend visitors arrived. They collected plastic bottles, food wrappers, and broken fishing line, sorting everything into bins and recycling bags. Although the work was slower than they expected, the students noticed that the beach looked much better by the end of the morning. Their teacher said the activity was not just about tidying up; it was also about protecting wildlife and showing responsibility for the environment. The students left tired, but they were pleased that their effort would make the beach safer and cleaner for everyone.
