The Spanish Football Federation has decided that all Liga and Liga F matches will be interrupted in the 9th minute in tribute to Jesús de Miguel, the Tenerife striker who tragically died.
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced this Thursday, November 5, that the next round of Liga and Liga F matches will be dedicated to the memory of Jesús de Miguel. The Tenerife striker died tragically after a violent collision with the Andorra team's goalkeeper during a second-division match.
To honor his memory, all matches in the round will be interrupted in the 9th minute of play. This choice is not insignificant: the shirt number worn by Jesús de Miguel was precisely 9. A symbolic tribute that will allow players, referees, and spectators to show their respect for the young footballer.
Jesús de Miguel passed away as a result of the head injury sustained during that Segunda División match. The Andorran goalkeeper, who caused the collision, apparently had no intention to harm, but the force of the impact proved fatal. This accident serves as a reminder of the inherent risks in professional sport and the fragility of life.
This decision by the RFEF reflects the importance placed on player safety on the field. The tragedy has deeply affected the world of Spanish football, which is mobilizing to pay a final tribute to one of its own.
