Tragedy in Spanish football: Jesús de Miguel dies after on-field collision

CD Tenerife footballer Jesús de Miguel died on Tuesday, November 3, after suffering a serious injury in Monday’s match against FC Andorra.

The Spanish club confirmed the tragic news in a statement on social media, Arbresh.info reports.

The footballer’s health deteriorated overnight, after he was initially kept under observation at Nuestra Señora de Candelaria University Hospital.

The accident happened in the final minutes of the match played at the “Heliodoro Rodríguez López” stadium, when De Miguel collided with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono while challenging for the ball.

The collision was so serious that the match was abandoned in the 108th minute so that medical teams could enter the field and administer first aid to the footballer.

He was immediately taken by ambulance to the hospital, but, despite medical efforts, he did not survive his injuries.

The club’s statement:

“With deep sorrow, a lump in our throats, and unable to believe this is true, CD Tenerife announces the tragic passing of Jesús de Miguel Alameda this Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 08:00.

There are no words of comfort and nothing that can ease this profound sadness. We stand with his family, devastated by grief, with his loved ones, and with all Tenerife fans, who today mourn this cruel outcome.”

The footballer’s family has thanked everyone for their messages of support and requested the utmost respect for their privacy during this difficult time./
