When the fulltime whistle blows in a football match in Wellington on Sunday, the score could be in the thousands.

Twenty-eight people are attempting to set a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous football match by playing for 45 straight hours, starting at 1PM tomorrow.

The footballers are raising money for the More Than A Game charity, sending proceeds to Gumboot Friday.

More Than A Game co-founder Graham Matheson spoke to Corin Dann.
