Catastrophes happen too often in football, still today in the 21st century, and sometimes they happen close to where you are. I have been to the Estadio Cuscatlan in San Salvador a couple of times so I know it is a bit old with some bottlenecks. It was thus with shock that I heard that Saturday night, at the match between Alianza and FAS, in an overcrowded stadium, 12 people died and more than 100 injured from a stampede early on in the match. Authorities appear to have been relatively quick to act, but serious and justified questions are being asked about how this could happen.
It happens too often and too often authorities do not really act on it. I hope that this will lead to increase securities so that the wonderful Salvadoran fans can continue enjoying their football safely.
