Remembering the Heysel Stadium Disaster
A Tragic Event in Football History
On May 29, 1985, the European Cup Final between Liverpool and Juventus took place at Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium. It was a highly anticipated match between two of the continent's top teams.
A Night of Chaos
However, the night turned into tragedy when rioting Liverpool fans charged Juventus fans in the stands, leading to a crush that killed 39 people and injured hundreds more. The incident remains one of the darkest chapters in football history.
The disaster should serve as a reminder of the importance of respecting opposing fans and playing with sportsmanship. It is a tragic event that should never be forgotten.
