In the 38th minute of the Ziraat Turkish Cup group match between Kocaelispor and Beşiktaş, 20-year-old Harda Kaçmaz fell approximately 10 meters into the stand gap while trying to move from the East Marathon upper stand to the lower block.
Following initial intervention at the scene, the young fan was taken to the hospital.
Harda Kaçmaz, whose heart stopped three times, could not be saved despite all interventions.
Upon receiving the sad news about Harda Kaçmaz, who was reportedly preparing to go to military service, Kocaelispor fans and Hodri Meydan Supporters Association President Enver Güler left the match and rushed to the hospital.
The young fan's body was taken from the private hospital and moved to the Kocaeli State Hospital morgue.
After the match, Kocaelispor Club President Recep Durul and Kocaelispor Manager Selçuk İnan, upon the team's arrival at the facilities, also went to the hospital to stand by their fan.
It was learned that club president Recep Durul offered his condolences to the fan's family at the hospital and subsequently conveyed the matter to Kocaeli Governor İlhami Aktaş, requesting that additional measures be taken to prevent passage between blocks and stands.
On the other hand, it was stated that the Kocaeli Provincial Directorate of Youth and Sports would conduct the necessary investigation and that serious measures would be implemented afterward.
