Global juggling record highlights climate risks to the game

More than 5,000 football fans across five countries joined a synchronized juggling attempt on Saturday, setting a new Guinness World Record while drawing attention to the growing impact of extreme weather on the sport. The initiative, led by nonprofit Count Us In under its “Where Football Lives” campaign, saw participants at over 50 venues in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Brazil and the United Kingdom juggle a soccer ball simultaneously for 10 seconds. Guinness World Records adjudicator Michael Empric confirmed that 511 participants were officially counted in the coordinated effort, surpassing the previous record of 459. Miami Beach’s Lummus Park served as the main US hub for the event, held alongside the Copa del Sol community soccer festival. Organizers said the attempt aimed to spotlight the risks climate change poses to both professional and grassroots football, especially ahead of what is expected to be one of the hottest World Cups on record.
