On its official X handle, the Guinness World Records announced Mr Oluwole as the new record holder for the longest videogame marathon, playing a soccer game, exceeding the previous record of 50 hours set by David Whitefoot in 2022.
According to GWR, Mr Oside, a biochemist currently working as a car dealer, had attempted the record to raise money for a local hospital in his hometown of Ijebu Ode.
Although previous gaming record holders played either FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer during their attempts, Mr Oside was the first to win by playing the mobile game Dream League Soccer 2023 on his iPhone, which he connected to a TV screen.
