The Football Association of Ireland would like to offer its sincere condolences to the Irish Football Association following the death of a supporter at Stade de Lyon, this evening.
The FAI would like to express its sympathies to the family and friends of the man, and would like to offer its support and solidarity to the IFA.
FAI President Tony FItzgerald said today: “I would like, on behalf of the Board of the Football Association of Ireland, to pass on our deep sympathies to the Irish Football Association and to all those involved in Northern Irish football.”
FAI CEO John Delaney said: “This is a sad outcome to what was a historic day for Northern Irish football following their victory over Ukraine.
“On behalf of everyone in the FAI and the Republic of Ireland squad, I would like to express our sadness and condolences to IFA President Jim Shaw, CEO Patrick Nelson and all who are associated with the Northern Ireland squad.
“We also remember the friends and family of another Northern Ireland fan Darren Rodgers who died earlier this week in a tragic accident in Nice, and we would also like to remember Republic of Ireland supporter James Nolan, who died four years ago in Poland, during EURO 2012.”
