A Russian influencer has taken the internet by storm after setting a world record by playing football on a platform flying at 1,800 metres above the ground. Suspended beneath a massive hot-air balloon, the narrow platform shook in the wind as the athlete dribbled, passed and even celebrated goals thousands of feet in the sky.
Wearing safety gear and a parachute, he showcased incredible balance and focus, turning a normal football match into a jaw-dropping aerial spectacle. The dramatic stunt, captured on video, shows him confidently performing tricks while surrounded by clouds — making the moment look straight out of an action movie.
Viewers around the world are calling it one of the most daring and creative sports stunts ever attempted. Many praised his courage, while others said they felt dizzy just watching the footage. Regardless, the sky-high performance has now entered the record books as the highest-altitude football play ever recorded — proving that some influencers will literally take their game to new heights.
