A bus carrying Luxembourg’s Under-21 national football team with 33 people on board overturned on Thursday evening in Brittany, leaving eight injured, according to local emergency services.

There are no life-threatening injuries, firefighters told AFP, adding that the injured were being evacuated to regional hospitals.

The bus was found "lying on its side in a ditch" near Languidic (Morbihan) on the RN24, firefighters said, noting that significant rescue resources were deployed.

The vehicle was carrying 32 passengers plus the driver.

Luxembourg’s Under-21s are due to face France’s Under-21 team on Friday in Lorient at the Stade du Moustoir as part of Euro 2027 qualifying.

In a press release, the Luxembourgish Football Federation (FLF) confirmed that five players were taken to the hospital as a precaution, due to having suffered cuts and bruises.

The accident reportedly occurred due to a sudden illness affecting the driver.

The FLF has asked UEFA to postpone Friday’s match in Lorient against France, which was scheduled as part of the Euro 2027 qualifiers. UEFA will make its decision on Friday morning.
