Motagua win the Honduras league title after four fans die in stampede at stadium

A stampede at a sold-out game in Honduras has resulted in the death of at least four people, with many others injured.

The incident occurred in a football match between Motagua and Honduras Progreso in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa. It would have been a day of celebration with Motagua being crowned champions, but instead, it was sadly marred by tragedy.

According to news agency AP, a police statement claimed too many tickets had been sold. According to the police, a group of fans tried to enter one section of the stadium in a violent manner.
