Three years after the first seeds of a world-record idea were planted in the minds of Nacional fans, the Uruguayan club have made history.
On Thursday April 4,2013, during their Copa Libertadores tie against Mexican club Toluca, fans around three-quarters of the 65,000-capacity stadium were engulfed by a 600 metre x 50m flag, the largest ever unfurled at a football match.
The white, red and blue banner swept down the steep banks of the Estadio Centenario stadium in Montevideo, covering the Colombes, Olympic and Amsterdam stands, setting the tone for a pulsating match, won 4-0 by the hosts.
