CD Tenerife has announced the death of their striker, Jesus de Miguel Alameda, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 30. The club stated they are “broken with pain” and “unable to believe this is real.”
De Miguel suffered fatal injuries during a match against FC Andorra when he collided with the opposing goalkeeper, Jesus Owono. The incident occurred near the end of the game, which was tied 2-2 at the time. Owono was sent off following the collision, and the match was subsequently abandoned.
According to Spanish media reports, De Miguel experienced cardiac arrest and was resuscitated. He was then taken to the hospital and placed in intensive care. Tenerife later reported that his condition had worsened neurologically before his death.
Gerard Pique, majority shareholder of FC Andorra, expressed his sorrow on social media, writing, “I am so deeply sorry. Rest in peace, Jesus.” FC Andorra also extended their “most sincere condolences” to De Miguel’s family and teammates.
Numerous clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid, along with the Spanish football federation (RFEF), have sent messages of condolence. The RFEF postponed matches in the Copa del Rey and Copa de la Reina as a sign of respect.
Real Madrid observed a minute of silence before training, and Kylian Mbappe shared his sadness on Instagram. LaLiga chief Javier Tebas and Spanish sports minister Milagros Tolon also offered their condolences.
De Miguel had been with Tenerife for just over a season, joining in the summer of 2025 from Castellon and helping the team achieve promotion to the second division. He began his career at Leganes and played for several other clubs, including Unionistas de Salamanca, before moving to Castellon in 2023.
