New Zealand breaks world record for largest ever haka with over 6,000 participants
New Zealand has broken a new world record for the largest mass haka - rallying 6,531 participants and taking the crown from France, who have held the record of 4,028 since 2014.
The troupe performed the ‘Ka Mate’ haka, which is often associated with the country’s All Blacks rugby team, at the Eden Park rugby stadium in Auckland.
“It’s not just that we want to take it off the French, it’s like a national treasure that somebody has taken from us. It’s got enormous meaning for us as New Zealanders”, said Michael Mizrahi, who set up the attempt.
