These reckless teenagers took the beloved game of football to new dangerous extremes in this shocking footage.

Pupils from a boarding school in East Java, Indonesia, can be seen playing a game of fire football, where they kick about a ball of flame.

Using a coconut that has been soaked in kerosene and set alight, the students pass the object around as they aim for the goalposts.

But the bare-footed players don’t mess about and are quick to kick the flaming coconut away from them and to the next person in this dangerous game.

The footage, recorded on a mobile phone, shows the pupils enthusiastically trying to score a goal.

When the first one is scored the students jump up and down in celebration - with those team members patting each other on the back over a job well done.

Known as sepak bola api, or flaming football, according to Sports keeda, the game is played during the month of Ramadan, reports the Mirror.

The rules of the game don’t differ that much from the more common definition of football - apart from the instruments used.

Two teams of eleven members play together, trying to score the most goals.

The video ends with a shot of one of the player's bare-feet which are covered in black ash.
