3 November 2026
Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel has died aged 30 after suffering serious head and chest injuries during Monday’s Segunda División match against Andorra. The Spanish Football Federation subsequently postponed Tuesday’s Copa del Rey and Copa de la Reina fixtures.
De Miguel collided with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during stoppage time and received emergency treatment before being hospitalised. Tenerife initially reported his condition as stable but serious, but confirmed that he died on Tuesday morning. The match had been abandoned at 2-2, and the federation has not yet announced replacement dates for the postponed cup games.
Why It Matters
The fatal collision has prompted the postponement of Spanish cup fixtures and renewed attention to player safety.
