Association football players who passed away on the field or in situations involving the field
In response to a rise in fatalities that occurred during training and games, the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) examined requiring cardiac testing in 2007. This practice was already in place in several nations, including Italy, for years.[3]
By 2009, the FIFA pre-competition medical evaluation encompassed results from electrocardiograms (ECGs), heart rhythm, sounds, and family history.[4] Players in the 2011–12 Europa League were subject to a battery of medical examinations mandated by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), which included an echocardiogram and an ECG.[5] Ongoing observation has been suggested.[6]
Report on Sudden Deaths in FIFA
FIFA commissioned Saarland University to conduct a study known as the FIFA Sudden Death Report (FIFA-SDR) in order to gain a better understanding of the scope of the issue. It was released in
020.[7] The report recorded worldwide deaths attributed to sudden cardiac arrest or other unexplained sudden death while playing (or shortly after playing) football during the period from 2014 to 2018. There were 617 cases during the five-year period. In the majority of cases where an autopsy was carried out, the cause of death was coronary heart disease.
