On Wednesday evening, a boy of middle school age had chest pains during a football match with a football club in Trelleborg. The boy was taken to hospital but died later that evening. – It is a great sadness for the whole association, says the chairman of the association. On Thursday evening, the football club held an open memorial service with over 400 people, writes Expressen. – We only had one room for 100 people, so we had to have four sittings, says the chairman to the newspaper. Minute of silence during all the weekend’s matches Now Skåne’s football association announces that all matches during the weekend must begin with a minute’s silence. Tomorrow, Malmö FF will start with a minute’s silence during the training match against Öster. – I think that whenever we can show solidarity, partly with the grief for those affected, but also the football family, we should do it, says coach Henrik Rydström to Expressen.
