Minute’s silence to be observed in all UEFA competitions for Sala
All UEFA competition matches this week will observe a minute’s silence to pay tribute and respect to the memory of Emiliano Sala who tragically died in a plane crash.
UEFA has confirmed a minute’s silence will be observed at all UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League matches this week in order to pay tribute to the memory of Emiliano Sala.
The 28-year-old died after the plane he was travelling in, along with pilot David Ibbotson, crashed into the English Channel on 21 January. Sala’s body was formally identified on 7 February.
“On behalf of everyone at UEFA, I would like to express my sincerest condolences to the family and loved ones of Emiliano Sala for their loss,” said UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. “I am deeply saddened that his life was so cruelly taken away at such a young age and I urge supporters across the continent to pay their respects to his memory over the coming days.”
Clubs competing in UEFA competition matches this week will also have the option to wear black armbands in memory of Sala, who was born in Argentina, but played a large portion of his professional career in France.
