The throw landed to a teammate but, unfortunately, his teammate pulled his effort wide. Five years on and the throw has been calculated to have travelled a mammoth 61.26m, which has never been topped in an official football match before. Beiranvand really can throw a ball further than most goalkeepers can kick it. Beiranvand was given his award earlier this week. After working numerous jobs to make ends meet, Beiranvand made his debut for top tier side Naft in 2011. Three years later he made his debut for his country and, four years after that, he was first-choice goalkeeper at the 2018 World Cup, where he saved a penalty from Cristiano Ronaldo in a 1-1 draw vs Portugal.
