The Heysel Stadium Disaster occurred when a wall collapsed in the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, before the start of the 1985 European Cup Final. 39 people died, and 600 were injured. Approximately one hour before the Liverpool-Juventus final was due to kick off, a large group of Liverpool fans were suddenly thought to have breached a fence separating them from rival Juventus fans. The Juventus fans ran back and away from the perceived threat into a concrete retaining wall. Fans already seated near the wall were crushed; eventually the wall collapsed. Many people climbed over to safety, but many others died or were badly injured. The game was played despite the disaster in order to prevent further violence. The tragedy resulted in all English football clubs being placed under an indefinite ban by UEFA from all European competitions (lifted in 1990-91), with Liverpool F.C. being excluded for an additional year and a number of Liverpool fansprosecuted for manslaughter. The disaster was later described as "the darkest hour in the history of the UEFA competitions.
