Tragic footballer Jesus de Miguel’s devastated club Tenerife vow to financially support his one-year-old daughter until she turns 18 – as fundraiser passes £125,000

Spanish club Tenerife have committed to financially supporting the one-year-old daughter of Jesus de Miguel until she turns 18, following the striker's tragic death. The 30-year-old died from accidental chest trauma after a collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during a second division match. A public fundraiser for De Miguel's family has crossed £125,000, with contributions from footballers Alvaro Morata and Alex Baena.

Tenerife CEO Antonio Manuel Porro Granados confirmed the club's initiative, while the player's family is also reportedly set to receive around £300,000 in base compensation. Meanwhile, police are investigating the emergency response and whether Owono could face involuntary manslaughter charges, though legal experts doubt criminal charges will result.
