Al-Nassr one goal away from Guinness World Record for scoring streak
Al-Nassr need just one goal against Al-Khaleej tonight to claim the world record for most consecutive league games with a goal and enter the Guinness World Records.
BUCHAREST, Romania — Hundreds of thousands of people congregated in Romania's capital city on Saturday, arranging themselves at a 3.1-mile-long table to set a Guinness World Record and raise funds for what organizers claim will be the nation's first pediatric psychiatry hospital. Tens of thousands of individuals participated in the event, many of whom decorated their tables with flowers and snacks.
Joanne Brent, a senior adjudicator and official onscreen judge for Guinness World Records, attended the occasion and praised the gathering as an example of people coming together for a common cause, stating that the record-breaking achievement had been put to good use. The money collected from the event will contribute to the construction of a 3,900-square-meter children's psychiatric facility within the Obregia Hospital complex in Bucharest.
This facility, funded by private donations and sponsorships, is estimated to cost 16.5 million euros and aims to address the growing number of children diagnosed with severe mental illnesses in the country. Romania's Minister of Health has pledged to support the initiative by providing necessary equipment and furniture for the hospital, with construction scheduled to be completed by 2027.
