A Greek footballer has died after suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch during a game where there was no defibrillator or ambulance at the stadium.
The player, aged 21, was playing for a Greek third tier team, Ilioupoli, when tragedy struck five minutes into the game.
Alexandros Lampis collapsed at the First Municipal Stadium during a match on Wednesday.
The stadium is within a south-eastern suburb of the Greek capital Athens, but the ambulance did not arrive for 20 minutes, The Sun reports, and there was no way to resuscitate the stricken player at the ground.
The incident comes after the world watched in horror only eight months ago when Christian Eriksen collapsed suffering from a sudden cardiac arrest, while playing for Denmark at Euro 2020.
In that incident, Denmark’s team doctor, Morten Boesen, confirmed that the 29-year-old had gone into cardiac arrest on the pitch and was brought back through a combination of CPR and an electric shock from a defibrillator.
Eriksen's life was saved and he is now set to make a remarkable return to top-flight football with Brentford.
The Danish midfielder has been allowed to return to professional football after a defibrillator was implanted into his body, which helps to regulate his heart rate...

At least he is saved from COVID now!
The only solution is to outlaw soccer.
Thanks for posting. Nuremberg 2 .0
Condolences to family and friends of the innocent victim.
SUPEREVIL among us.
Ouzo perhaps
The solution is all soccer stadiums need defibrillators for when the players collapse with heart problems.

Oh wait, all of these stories are from 2019 and this is just another moronic anti-vax post by someone who is almost certainly a smug liberal grinning as he tries to kill off conservatives.
None of these reports are available on mainstream American media. We have to go to the UK to learn the truth of the matter.
I have some liberal friends who think this whole matter of sudden deaths among athletes is fake news pushed by “right-wing conspiracy theorists” and Trump supporters. Really. It’s impossible to have any discussion with them about anything. Mass formation psychosis is alive and well in Southern California.
)Really. It’s impossible to have any discussion with them about anything. Mass formation psychosis is alive and well in Southern California.)
It’s not just happening there, I’m sorry to say.
I hear you. Ive never liked the game and it has become so dangerous this last 2 years.
I don’t believe that but I also know the difference between causation and coincidence. Asking for proof and challenging assumptions is key to intelligent debate of anything.
No doubt this sort of thing was very common before covid and the mandated vaxx, right?
No one is surprised or alarmed, because we’re used to it. It’s just part of the game, right?
You would think that with all the recent instances of heart problems with these soccer players that they would have defibrillators on the sidelines at every practice and every game.
It wasn't common then and it isn't common now.
I haven't seen any credible evidence that it's more common now than before, either.
Every soccer player who collapses needs to be banned from soccer for spreading vaccine hesitancy and potentially causing millions of deaths
I know of several soccer players who have died on a pitch and this was long before COVID.
If they simply implement defibrillators in all soccer players…no more problem! Unless it’s myocarditis or pericarditis…
You are no conservative.
Heres a list of 600 more recent deaths, but nothing to see.
