RIP to all who died.

Awful.

RIP.

 

The saddest thing is, that this isnt an isolated incident in Africa. Also, the Africa FA has little money to spend on stadia safety and in most ciscumstances they are left to fend for themselves due to lack of funding; countries where the government's poor too. Very sad.
