Twenty-five years ago, on 15 April 1989, 96 people lost their lives in the Hillsborough Stadium tragedy, which occurred at an English FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool FC and Nottingham Forest FC in Sheffield.
It remains the worst stadium-related disaster in British history, and one of the worst-ever football disasters in the world.
"The thoughts of UEFA and the European football family remain with the families of those who lost their lives in this tragedy, 25 years ago," said UEFA President Michel Platini.
