Thousands of fans rushed to the field after their home team from Port Said, Al-Masry, defeated Al-Ahly, one of Egypt’s top clubs from Cairo, 3-1 on Wednesday night. They first clashed with rival fans of the Cairo-based club and then attacked the players and coaching staff from Al-Ahly. The attack resulted in a stampede at the stadium, which was attended by some 40,000 people that night.
The violence in Port Said is the deadliest in football after 1996 events in Guatemala City, when some 80 people were killed and 180 others injured in a stampede at a stadium before a World Cup qualifier between Guatemala and Costa Rica.
