Italy pays tribute to Heysel victims with Mancini, Malagò, Ranieri and Scalvini

Italy's delegation laid flowers and observed a minute's silence at the Heysel memorial to honour the 39 victims of the 1985 stadium disaster.

Italy's national team delegation, led by manager Roberto Mancini, FIGC commissioner Giovanni Malagò, Club Italia president Claudio Ranieri and defender Giorgio Scalvini, travelled to Brussels to pay tribute to the 39 victims of the Heysel stadium tragedy.

On 29 May 1985, before the European Cup final between Juventus and Liverpool, a disaster claimed 39 lives. The delegation laid a wreath of flowers at the commemorative plaque bearing the names of those who died and observed a minute's silence in respect and remembrance.

The gesture, uniting different generations of Italian football, underscores the movement's commitment to preserving the historical memory of the tragedy and honouring the families of the victims.
