EuroWeekly News reported:
Following the news, which was reported by several Spanish outlets including Lavoz del Sur, other clubs across Andalucia paid tribute to the young footballer.
“From CD Guadalcacín we deeply regret the death of Jorge Salmerón, a CF San José Obrero player who was only 13 years old. Much encouragement to his family and to CF San José Obrero in these difficult times,” the Guadalcacileño club wrote on Twitter.
Sherry Atlético FC said: “We express our deepest condolences for the death of Jorge Salmerón Mezcue, who has died suddenly at the age of thirteen.”
The Xerez DFC Cantera offered their condolences “to the family and friends of Jorge Salmerón Mezcua, a player who belonged to the San José Obrero discipline, who has died suddenly at the age of 13. Rest in peace.”
Club A.D Nueva Jarilla wrote: From AD Nueva Jarilla we send our most sincere condolences to all the relatives and friends of Jorge Salmerón, a 13-year-old @cfsjoseobrero player! Rest in peace.”
The youngster’s death follows news of another 13-year-old who passed away on the Costa del Sol.
On March 28, a teenage boy was reportedly playing in the playground with the rest of his classmates at the Sierra de Mijas Secondary Education Institute, located in the province of Malaga, when he allegedly fainted without prior warning.
Despite rescue efforts, the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene.
Earlier this week, we reported on multiple accounts of young athletes suddenly passing away.

The mainstream media refuses to ask the obvious question that must be answered.
Did these young athletes receive the experimental COVID-19 shots?
That should be question #1 for an investigation into these tragedies.
