Fan Passes Away During UEFA Nations League Final

A soccer fan has died after falling from the stands during the UEFA Nations League final between Portugal and Spain on Sunday, 8 June.

While attending the game at Allianz Stadium in Munich, Germany, the fan – whose identity remains undisclosed at this time – reportedly fell from the second-tier stand onto a staircase near the seating area below, where media personnel were situated.

As police officers cordoned off the area, emergency paramedics arrived on the scene. They proceeded to administer first aid and attempt resuscitation, but to no avail.

Portugal went on to win the tournament after beating Spain 5-3 on penalties.

The next day, Monday 9 June, UEFA confirmed in a statement that the fan had passed away:

“There was a medical emergency at the Munich arena, and despite the best efforts of the medical team, the person sadly passed away at 00:06 (CET). Our thoughts are with their loved ones at this difficult time.”

A police investigation is currently underway.
