Football community unites behind Chapecoense

Clubs and players expressed their grief and
support for the Brazilian side on social media
following the tragic events of Monday night in
which 76 passengers died in a plane crash
The football community has rallied around
Chapecoense following the tragic events of
Monday night .
A plane carrying the Brazilian club to Colombia for
their Copa Sudamericana final first leg against
Atletico Nacional crashed en route.
The Serie A side were scheduled to play at
Medellin's Estadio Atanasio Girardot on
Wednesday but the plane, carrying 72 passengers
and nine crew, crashed on its way to Medellin
from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, leaving only
five surivvors.
Authorities reported that the plane declared an
emergency at 22.00 local time (03.00GMT) with an
electrical failure.
The plane is understood to have come down in
Cerro Gordo in the municipality of La Union.
Figures across the football world have since
taken to social media to show their support for
Chapecoense.
Força para os familiares e amigos de todas
as pessoas que estavam neste avião! Que
Deus nos conforte nesse momento de luto!
