A fan died after falling from an elevated stand onto the pitch during the 2025 Nations League final between Portugal and Spain.

Police appeared to investigate the incident.

The heartbreaking incident happened at the Munich Arena in the early morning of June 9. A fan died after falling from the upper stands into the press area. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente was the first to confirm the news when he entered the press conference room immediately after the match.

According to initial information, a male fan suddenly fell from the upper stands into the press area during extra time. Although security personnel and medical staff quickly arrived to assist, and an ambulance was immediately dispatched, all efforts to save the victim were unsuccessful.

The victim’s identity, including his age and hometown, has not yet been made public. The reason why he fell is also unclear. After the incident, police cordoned off the area to investigate the incident.

The match ended in a victory for Portugal, but the celebration was overshadowed by the tragic incident. "Everyone present at the stadium expressed their condolences to the victim," Marca wrote.

In the early morning of June 9, Ronaldo scored the equalizer 2-2, creating the premise for Portugal's 5-3 victory in the penalty shootout of the 2024/25 Nations League final, thereby becoming the first team to win the Nations League twice.
