A summer of World Records in Boston
This 45-foot-wide soccer ball shatters the previous Guinness World Record for World’s Largest Soccer Ball (just under 39 feet), in an attempt by Massport.
A week prior, on Saturday, June 6, there will be a community attempt to break another soccer-centric World Record. Over 500 people are expected to gather at a Cambridge soccer field to break the record for the most people simultaneously juggling a soccer ball!
With the last (and only) Boston Stadium World Cup taking place over 30 years ago in 1994, it’s a historic summer season in Boston this month!
Find the World’s Largest Soccer Ball at Piers Park II June 12 through June 18.
