40 years ago today, on May 29, 1985 (April 10, 1985 in the lunar calendar), British fans caused trouble at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, causing tragedy. Heyser Football Tragedy May 29, 1985 At Heyser Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, before Liverpool and Juventus held the European Club Champions League final, Italian and English fans clashed, resulting in many deaths. The dead included 30 Italians, 5 Belgians and a Frenchman, and 250 people were injured. The game was postponed for an hour until police restored order. Afterwards, the English team was banned from participating in the three major European Cups for five years. On May 29, 1985, the British Liverpool team and the Italian team Juventus team competed for the European Football Association Club Champions Cup at the Hessel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium. Due to the disturbance of British fans, a tragedy resulted in 41 deaths and more than 400 injuries. To this end, the British government has proposed an emergency bill to Parliament to severely sanction football disturbances. On May 31, the British Football Association decided to withdraw all British club football teams participating in European competitions. On June 2, Jacques George, President of the Federation of European Football Associations, announced in Basel, Switzerland that the Federation of European Football Associations had decided to indefinitely ban England's football club teams from participating in any future European competitions. On June 27, sports ministers from 21 Western European countries meeting in Strasbourg, France, adopted a treaty aimed at opposing violence in stadiums. The treaty was adopted in the light of the spate of bloodshed on European football stadiums in recent years. Under this treaty, the governments of the above-mentioned countries undertake to take all necessary measures to mobilize sufficient service personnel to deal with violence and indulgence during competitions and to sanction those who engage in violence. The treaty requires the governments of these countries to separate fans from both sides during games and strictly control ticket sales to prevent conflicts between fans from both sides. The treaty also requires bans or restrictions on the sale of alcohol and prohibits spectators from bringing all items that may be used as weapons in stadiums where competitions are held. On June 27, in order to curb trouble among national football fans, the British government issued a decree strictly prohibiting the sale of alcohol near football stadiums and strictly prohibiting drunkards from entering the stadium to watch the game. According to the ordinance, drunken spectators will be fined up to £ 100 (US$125) if they are found watching the game. Anyone found selling or carrying alcohol on trains or buses transporting spectators on the stadium will be fined up to £ 400 (US$500). Those who allow alcohol to be sold on vehicles bound for the stadium will be fined £ 1000 (US$1250). On July 15, Belgian Deputy Prime Minister Jean Gore (Liberal Reform Party) offered to resign in a letter to Martens. That night, five other cabinet members of the party also decided to resign to support Jean Gore's decision. Jean Gore resigned because of dissatisfaction with the House of Representatives debate in early July surrounding the football tragedy in Brussels. The Belgian House of Representatives has formed an investigation committee to investigate the causes and responsibilities of the incident. The committee pointed out that Home Secretary Norton (Christian Democratic Party) was responsible. The majority Liberal Reform Party called for Norton's resignation during the debate. However, Notton firmly refused this request, so the cabinet members of the Liberal Reform Party decided to resign, so that the current cabinet no longer had a majority in the parliament, leading to this cabinet crisis.
