Spanish footballer Jesus de Miguel mourned by family and friends

On November 5, 2026, the funeral of Jesús de Miguel, a 30-year-old Spanish footballer who died after suffering cardiac arrest from an on-field collision, was held in his hometown of Navahermosa, central Spain. The town declared three days of mourning and flags flew at half-staff. De Miguel's Tenerife teammates, Spain’s national soccer coach Luis de la Fuente, and Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez attended the service to pay their respects. The player suffered cardiac arrest after colliding with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during a match on Monday, November 2026, and died in hospital the following day. Authorities have opened an investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter to assess whether Owono's challenge was beyond normal play.
