On Friday morning it was assured that the roof of the Ghent football stadium could withstand the storm, but that was clearly not counting the strong gusts. Meter-sized panels have blown down and landed on cars parked next to the stadium.
There are no reports of injuries, but the match against Seraing that was scheduled at the Ghelamco Arena tonight is canceled† That has been heard at the club.
It is not the first time that the roof of the Ghelamco Arena has come off: also during a previous stormCiara in 2020, panels already fell on the ground below.
