Qatar Petrochemical Company (Qapco) has made a new Guinness World Record for the largest T-shirt ever made, breaking the old one set in South Africa.Yesterday, in front of thousands of followers at Aspire Park, judges from Guinness World Records certified that the Qapco T-shirt, a white and maroon shirt over 72.2 metres long and 48.7 metres wide, was the world largest T-shirt ever made. It weighs six tons and covered 3516.25 square metres.
The crowd roared with delight when Gaz Deaves, Gaming Editor of Guinness World Records, said: “I am happy to announce a new Guinness record for the largest T-shirt.”
The South African record was set on September 15 this year for a T-shirt more than 64 metres long and 43 metres wide.
Dr Mohammed Yousef Al Mulla, General Manager and board member of Qapco, said it was thrilling that Qapco had set a world record for the largest T-shirt.
“This idea came as a result of the support of H E Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah, the Deputy Premier and Minister of Energy and Industry, who clearly defined that our motive behind such an initiative is only to voice our unlimited support in the energy and industry sector for Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup here.”
