The Heysel Stadium disaster was a crowd disaster that occurred on 29 May 1985 when Juventus F.C. fans escaping from an attack by Liverpool fans were pressed against a wall the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, before the start of the 1985 European Cup Final. The stadium was poorly maintained and in desperate need of repair and had failed inspections prior to the disaster, resulting in the collapse of the wall. Thirty-nine people—mostly Italians and Juventus fans—were killed and 600 were injured in the confrontation.

Juventus Football Club, colloquially known as Juve, is an Italian professional football club based in Turin, Piedmont, that competes in the Serie A, the top tier of the Italian football league system. Founded in 1897 by a group of Torinese students, the club has worn a black and white striped home kit since 1903 and has played home matches in different grounds around its city, the latest being the 41,507-capacity Juventus Stadium. Nicknamed la Vecchia Signora, the club has won 36 official league titles, 14 Coppa Italia trophies and nine Italian Super Cups, being the record holder for all these competitions; two Intercontinental Cups, two European Cup / UEFA Champions Leagues, one European Cup Winners' Cup, three UEFA Cups, two UEFA Super Cups and one UEFA Intertoto Cup. Consequently, the side leads the historical Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC) classification, whilst on the international stage the club occupies the sixth position in Europe and the twelfth in the world for most confederation titles won with eleven trophies, as well as the fourth in the all-time Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) competitions ranking, having obtained the highest coefficient score during seven seasons since its introduction in 1979, the most for an Italian team in both cases and joint second overall in the last cited.
