Football: former Sedan striker, Toni Brogno is dead

Toni Brogno is no more. “CS Sedan Ardennes in mourning. It is with immense sadness that the (club) learned of the disappearance of Toni Brogno, former Belgian striker who defended our colors from 2000 to 2002. Rest in peace, Toni,” the club announced this Tuesday. The Belgian press reports that he had been suffering from liver cancer since 2024. “We are deeply saddened to announce the death of the best dad and husband in the world,” said the person's daughter, Olivia Brogno, earlier this Tuesday on social networks.

Having played for Sporting de Charleroi, Olympic de Charleroi and Westerlo, Toni Brogno notably finished top scorer in the Belgian championship with 30 goals in 32 matches in 2000, just before joining Sedan, which was still playing in the first division at the time. He had scored 10 goals in 32 matches for the Sangliers at the time, having worn the Belgian national team jersey seven times between 1998 and 2000.
