Stadium catches fire before England’s World Cup qualifier in Andorra

A fire broke out Friday alongside the field at National Stadium in Andorra, where England’s national men’s soccer team will play Saturday in a World Cup qualifier.

Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett was on the air when the fire broke out in a platform area reserved for television cameras between where the two teams’ benches are located.

There are no reports of injuries — England’s soccer team had finished up their training for the day hours earlier — and no word yet about the status of Saturday’s match.

The stadium sits amid a residential area in Andorra la Vella, capital of the tiny Pyrenees principality, with homes overlooking the stadium.
