UEFA will pay tribute to the victims of the devastating floods that hit Nepal on August 26. A minute of silence will be held before all Champions League matches scheduled for this week, while stadiums will display a banner reading “You are not alone, Nepal.”
The gesture represents an expression of solidarity and support for the population affected by the disaster. UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin conveyed European football’s condolences and wished the people of Nepal strength and resilience during the recovery period.
Floods and landslides affected the Himalayan region along the border between Nepal and China. On August 26, a mass of ice blocks and rocks broke away from the northern slope of Langtang Lirung mountain, causing a huge volume of debris to surge toward the downstream valleys.
According to the latest toll released by China’s Xinhua news agency, 43 deaths and 519 missing people were reported in Tibet. In Nepal, the disaster claimed at least 1,341 lives, with nearly 5,000 people missing.
