Tragedy in Astana: Youngster crushed by falling football stand (VIDEO)

A 6-year-old girl was left fighting for her life after suffering severe injuries on a football field in Astana. The incident took place when metal gates on the field collapsed, hitting the girl on the head.

Since the incident, the girl has undergone two operations and is currently hospitalised. Her mother has been vocal in her demands for justice and safety improvements, not just for her daughter's wellbeing, but also to prevent similar incidents from happening to other families.

The mother has requested that those responsible for the poor-quality work that led to her daughter's injuries cover all medical expenses and health restoration costs. She has also demanded compensation for the moral and material damage caused to the family.

In addition, the mother has called for public disclosure of the case to prevent fact concealment and impunity. She publicly demanded the identification of the playground owner and those responsible for safety. However, no new information about the identification of the playground owner or those responsible for safety has been provided.

The police department has opened a criminal case in response to the incident, and they are urging responsible persons to monitor the technical condition of sports facilities. They emphasise the importance of observing safety measures when children are on public playgrounds.

It is reasonable to infer that the owner of the relevant football field would either be a city or municipal government entity or a club such as FC Astana, depending on whether the field is public or private. The responsibility for safety on the football field usually falls to whoever owns and operates the facility, including maintaining the playing surface, securing the premises, and ensuring compliance with safety norms to prevent accidents.

The police are currently conducting necessary investigative actions to identify the responsible parties and bring them to justice. They urge everyone to take safety seriously and to report any suspicious or dangerous conditions on sports facilities to the authorities.
