    5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA athletes in 2021

    5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA athletes in 2021

    The Israeli Real-Time News Tuesday reported a 5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA players in 2021.

    Since December, 183 professional athletes and coaches have suddenly collapsed, with 108 dead.

    A Real-Time News investigation revealed that most of the athletes were males, with only 15 females, and the vast majority being 17-40 years of age. Only 21 are older (5 aged 42-45, six aged 46-49, 7 aged 51-54, and 3 others aged 60-64). 23 were teenagers, aged 12-17, of whom 16 died.

    The investigation revealed in over 80 of the cases, such as football stars Sergio Aguero and Christian Eriksen, the athletes collapsed while playing, racing, or training, or immediately after. Scientific literature calls the phenomenon of athletes collapsing for reasons unrelated to injury rare.

    In most cases, the cause of the collapse was heart-related, including myocarditis, pericarditis, heart attacks, or cardiac arrest, with the second most prevalent cause being clotting events.

    Real-Time News emphasized that: "the list we have is even longer, but for the sake of caution, dozens of cases were removed, for which we did not have full details, so that only cases that were reported in detail were included."

    They continued: "in addition, cases were removed in which evidence of previous risk factors was mentioned, such as cardiac disease or diabetes.

    To get a better picture of the data compared to previous years, Real-Time News only looked at data relating to deaths among athletes registered with FIFA, and compared the data regarding the number of sudden cardiac death (SCD)/sudden unexplained death (SUD) among athletes in previous years, to the number of cases in 2021.

    To find out how many deaths actually occurred during the last two decades among FIFA players (2001-2020), they used Wikipedia – "List of association footballers who died while playing". To know how many cases occurred in 2021, they used the list collected by Real-Time News that includes the cases noted in Wikipedia for 2021.

    Hebrew University Institute of Criminology Department of Sociology and Anthropology senior lecturer Dr. Josh Guetzkow analyzed the data and told Real-Time News: "An article published in the British Medical Journal shows that the risk of SCD is one in 50,000, with a range from one in 30,000 to one in 80,000." He continued: "According to FIFA data, in 2000 there were 242,000 athletes registered in the association, and in 2006 there were 265,000 athletes registered. Assuming FIFA has not changed significantly in twenty years, we can expect about 5 deaths a year."

    According to Wikipedia, under "List of association footballers who died while playing", in 2001-2020 there was an average of 4.2 deaths per year attributed to SCD or SUD, the vast majority being SCD. In contrast, in 2021, according to Real-Time News' list, there were 21 cases of SCD/SUD among FIFA players. In other words, instead of 4 SCD/SUD deaths per year (according to Wikipedia data), or 5 cases per year (calculated according to the BMJ) during 2001-2020, 21 players have died so far this year.

    The list of 183 athletes who collapsed and/or died since December 2020 can be viewed here (Hebrew).

    Around the world, athletes in their teens and early twenties, at the absolute peak of physical conditioning, are collapsing and even dropping dead. In the last couple months five European professional soccer players have had on-field health crises. A sports cardiologist told the Daily Mail last week that all these heart problems are a "coincidence." All we'll say is, it's one of the longest lists of coincidences we've ever seen.

    It is an alarming statistics but it's interesting that it's not even mentioned in the article how many received the vaccine. Many professional athletes are turning down the vaccines. I don't think we can assume that they were all vaccinated.

    A friend of mine who was working out at his gym got to talking to a young man in his 20s really fit and jacked, and told him how he started having heart problems after he got the vaccine. Myocarditis.

    I think that's why most of the NFL players are refusing the vaccine. They are in peak physical condition, why risk it? I also don't agree at all with vaccinated all children, they don't need it! Our country has gotten ridiculous!

    This morning we were praying for an 8yr old boy in town that recently chose to have the vaxx and is now on a heart transplant list. Sudden heart attack and now in ICU.
