16-year-old football star meets a shattering diagnosis-career ended!

Cork, Irland - Irish youth footballer Ben Dumigan, a promising 16-year-old defense talent of Cork City FC, faces an abrupt end of his career. The young player, who was about to move to TSG Hoffenheim in Germany, received a shocking diagnosis at the end of January: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This hereditary heart disease leads to a dangerous thickening of the muscles of the left heart chamber and, in the worst case, can lead to fatal cardiac arrhythmias during sporting activities, as in a report by laola1.at mentioned.

In his emotional declaration of withdrawal, Dumigan expressed: "I never thought that I had to announce my resignation from football at such a young age." Despite that of the tragic circumstance, the talented player shows a remarkable positive attitude and is grateful that the diagnosis may have saved his life. Cork City FC, Liam Kearney, promised to support the player in this challenging time: "Our thoughts are with him in this very difficult time," said Kearney.
