It almost led to a disaster.

A Welsh football fan fell from the stands on the second floor while cheering for Belgium. The BBC reported on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) that a 29-year-old man fell from the second-floor stands to the lower floor during the 2026 North-China World Cup European qualifying match between Wales and Belgium at King Beaudouin Stadium in Brussels, Belgium. The man is believed to have fallen off the second-floor railing while delighted when Wales scored their third equaliser against Belgium. On this day, 4,500 Welsh away fans cheered. A Welsh Football Association official said "After on-site first aid, he was taken to hospital, conscious and able to speak."

Wales suffered their first defeat in four World Cup qualifying matches, losing 3-4 to Belgium. Wales, which has two wins, one draw and one loss and seven points as of the four matches, is expected to compete with Belgium (1 win, one draw, four points) for the first place with a direct ticket to the finals.




Wales has not made the finals in 64 years since advancing to the quarterfinals of the 1958 World Cup in Sweden. However, he solved his long-cherished dream by advancing to the 2022 Qatar World Cup finals. The participants will try to advance to the finals for the first time in a row at the North Korea-China World Cup, which has expanded from 32 countries to 48.
