Football in Antarctica

On February 5, 1948, a match was played between a British vessel, HMS Snipe, and an Argentinian ship, ARA Seaver, on Deception Island.

[2] Possibly the southernmost football game ever was played in 2015, with a team of Chilean soldiers and scientists facing employees of an Antarctic tourism camp.

The match was played at Union Glacier, around 1,000 kilometers from the South Pole, and the Chilean team won 2–1.

[5] Matches continue to be played involving bases and visiting ships, with Rothera often hosting fixtures.

[1] Games have more recently been played by a King Edward Point research station team, mostly against visiting ships.
