The 131 victims of the Indonesia stadium tragedy will be remembered during a moment of silence at this week’s Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League games, according to UEFA’s announcement on Tuesday. In a statement, UEFA stated that there would be a moment of silence before the game in honour of those lost in the unfortunate incidents at the Indonesian stadium Kanjuruhan. All UEFA games this week, including those in the Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League, and Women’s World Cup Play-Offs, will observe a moment of silence.

42,000 “Aremania,” or Arema FC supporters, filled the Kanjuruhan stadium’s terraces on Saturday night for a game against bitter rivals Persebaya Surabaya.

Fans flocked to the field to confront players and management following a 3-2 setback, their opponents’ first at home in more than 20 years.

The survivors charged the police with overreacting when they called the affair a riot and claimed two cops were killed.

More spectators entered the pitch as a result of the officers’ forceful response to the pitch invasion, which included kicking and beating spectators with batons, according to witnesses and video footage.

On Tuesday, the number of fatalities increased once further as local health official Wiyanto Wijoyo informed AFP that six additional victims had passed away from their wounds.

Witnesses reported seeing some of the stadium’s doors closed, and Indonesian officials said that 4,000 more tickets than were appropriate had been distributed for the game.

The most defenceless followers were left at the mercy of the crush as tear gas was sprayed down, while physically stronger supporters were able to scale massive fences to escape the chaos.

Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, described it as “a horrible day for those involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension” on Sunday.
