Tragic plane crashes involving soccer players

Professional soccer players are frequent flyers. They fly to play road games or to participate in foreign tournaments. This being the case, there have been several plane accidents where soccer players have lost their lives. Plane crashes have affected a single player, like in the case of the 2019 accident involving Emiliano Sala, and they have killed an entire team, as the 1949 Superga air disaster tragically proves.
