A dramatic incident occurred during Monday night's World Cup qualifier between Belgium and Wales, when a Wales fan, Scott Rees, fell from the upper tier of the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels. The 29-year-old was immediately attended to by medics and later taken to the hospital for further treatment.

Despite the severity of the fall, Rees remained in good spirits. In a post to a Wales football fans group on Facebook, he revealed that he had broken a small bone in his back but assured everyone that he was fine and had been discharged from the hospital. Rees also expressed his hope that "everyone had a good night."

The incident took place during the celebrations following Wales' third goal, which brought the score to a 3-3 draw. The match, however, ended in a 4-3 loss for Wales after a late goal by Belgium, marking the first defeat for new manager Craig Bellamy.

Paul Corkery from the Football Supporters' Association Cymru, who was present at the match, described the scene to BBC Radio Wales Drive: "We celebrated the goal, we equalised after being three-nil down, and there was a lot of pushing and shoving and jumping about." Corkery did not witness the fall but saw the immediate response from medics, stewards, and police officers. Rees reportedly landed in an area with no people, though he did "shock" fans seated nearby.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) confirmed the incident, stating that Rees was "conscious and speaking" when taken to the hospital. Following the incident, the FAW has emphasized the importance of stadium safety and the need for fans to remain vigilant during high-energy moments in matches.

Rees, who is expected to make a full recovery, has been advised to use crutches and will be immobilized for a few weeks. His friends have assured that he will be "fit as a fiddle" after his recovery period.

This incident has sparked discussions about stadium safety and the measures in place to protect fans during intense moments in football matches. The FAW and other football associations are likely to review and enhance safety protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.
