Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Fire breaks out at Andorra’s Estadi Nacional ahead of World Cup qualifier vs England” – below is their description.
A fire has broken out in dramatic scenes at Andorra’s Estadi Nacional just a day before they are due to play England there in a World Cup qualifier. The gantry – a bridge-like overhead structure with a platform supporting equipment – erected ahead of Saturday night’s match was seen in flames during a live television report from Sky Sports. The fire broke out just as Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorset was giving an update from the artificial pitch in Andorra, with black billowing smoke then making its way towards residential apartments and flat surrounding the 3,000 capacity stadium. The Three Lions, who are top of their qualifying group, are set to face Andorra on Saturday night.

Andorra, officially the Principality of Andorra, is a sovereign landlocked microstate on the Iberian Peninsula, in the eastern Pyrenees, bordered by France to the north and Spain to the south. Believed to have been created by Charlemagne, Andorra was ruled by the count of Urgell until 988, when it was transferred to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Urgell. The present principality was formed by a charter in 1278. It is known as a principality as it is a diarchy headed by two princes: the Bishop of Urgell in Catalonia, Spain, and the President of the French Republic.
Andorra is the sixth-smallest nation in Europe, having an area of 468 square kilometres (181 sq mi) and a population of approximately 77,006.
