Oside Oluwole, aka “Khoded,” a 24-year-old biochemist-turned-car dealer from Ijebu Ode, has achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest videogame marathon playing a soccer game.
According to Guinness World Records, Khoded played Dream League Soccer 2023 for an astonishing 75 hours, surpassing the previous record of 50 hours held by David Whitefoot since 2022. Unlike previous record holders, Khoded played on his iPhone connected to a TV screen.
“I really enjoyed myself playing for 75 hours straight with just some hours of rest. It wasn’t an easy task, but I must say it was all fun,” Khoded said, expressing his excitement.
Khoded’s achievement is not only a personal triumph but also a testament to his dedication and determination. He used the opportunity to raise funds for a local hospital in his hometown, garnering praise from local officials, including Seun Adesanya of the Ogun State House of Assembly.
Khoded’s feat is noteworthy, breaking the record by an unprecedented margin. He aims to set more world records in soccer video games, including console games like FIFA and PES, inspired by Chef Hilda Baci’s cook-a-thon last year.
