LFC marks 38th
anniversary of Heysel Stadium disaster
Liverpool FC
remembers the 39 football fans who lost their
lives at Heysel Stadium in Belgium on this day
38 years ago.
 The disaster occurred
before the European Cup final between Liverpool
and Juventus on May 29, 1985, when events in
Block Z of the stadium tragically led to the
deaths of 39 people and left hundreds more
injured. As a mark of respect to those who died,
a floral tribute was placed beside the Heysel
memorial plaque on the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand
at Anfield today. Flags across all club sites
are being flown at half-mast throughout the day.
In January, the mayor of Turin, Stefano Lo
Russo, visited Anfield as part of the official
handover of the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest,
and joined LFC ambassador Ian Rush and director
of communications Susan Black to lay a floral
wreath and pay tribute to those who lost their
lives in the Heysel Stadium disaster. Black said:
"This is a poignant and important day in our
club’s history and one on which we come together
to pay our respects to the 39 people who lost
their lives at Heysel and remember all those
affected by this tragedy". In Memoria e
Amicizia, in Memory and Friendship: Rocco Acerra
