NAC Breda fans hold emotional tribute for player Mats Seuntjens

Fans of the Dutch football club NAC Breda held an emotional tribute for player Mats Seuntjens and his partner, Elba, following the recent death of their newborn daughter, Selin Inaja.

During a match against VVV Venlo at the Rat Verleg Stadion, the stadium lights were dimmed, and approximately 20,000 supporters used lights to create a sea of brightness in honor of the infant. A banner was displayed in the stands reading, “The sky has gained another little star.”

Seuntjens, who had missed a previous match due to the tragedy, returned to the pitch for this fixture. Following the match, the player and his partner were met with a standing ovation and songs of support from the crowd. The gesture highlighted a moment of profound solidarity between the club, the players, and the supporters, overshadowing the 2-0 match result.
