The Guinness World Records world record for the Fastest hat-trick in an international football (soccer) match was set by Japanese international Masashi ‘Gon’ Nakayama, who scored a hat-trick in 3 min 15 sec against Brunei during an Asian Cup qualifing match played on 16 Feb 2000. Nakayama netted on one minute, two minutes and three minutes fifteen seconds, bettering the 62-year-old mark set by England’s George William Hall, who scored three in 3 minutes 30 seconds against Ireland at Old Trafford, Manchester, UK on 16 November 1938.

Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most players in a 5-a-side football exhibition match; it is 676, and was achieved by Petts Wood Football Club (UK), in Bromley, UK, on 19-20 May 2012.
