The disaster at Heysel Stadium happened during the 1985 UEFA Cup Final, featuring Italian club Juventus against British club Liverpool. On that fateful night, thousands of fans filled the stadium, which had already been showing signs of disrepair. Tensions escalated as rival fans clashed outside the stadium, leading to a surge of Liverpool fans breaching a wall separating them from Juventus supporters. In a panic, large numbers of people tried to escape, ultimately resulting in the collapse of a dilapidated retaining wall. This tragic chain of events led to the death of 39 individuals and injured more than 600 others, showcasing dire issues regarding crowd control and stadium safety.The aftermath of the disaster highlighted significant problems within UEFA’s organisation of European football events, prompting widespread calls for reform on how such events are managed. Following the tragedy, the match was played under immense controversy, with Juventus winning the title, but the celebration was overshadowed by sorrow and chaos. The broader implications of the disaster would lead to changes in stadium safety regulations across Europe and a more stringent approach to crowd control measures at football matches, as well as an increase in security for international games.
