The crowd kept a giant volleyball afloat as it rolled through the stadium at a match in Thailand.

Footage shows spectators of the Volleyball Nations League passing around the large yellow with red stripes inflatable before the game between Japan and Italy teams started in Bangkok on June 23.

The energetic audience was excited to pass the ball but it was stuck on one side, only flipping around over a group of supporters.

Staff had to help them push the oversized volleyball to another area, drawing laughs from people at the stadium.

One of the spectators who was on the other side of the stadium, Supaatcha Thongchai, said: 'The people played with giant volleyball. It was a fun way to break the ice.'
