"I am very shocked and saddened to learn this evening that a large number of football supporters have died or been injured following a match in Port Said, Egypt," Blatter said on a statement published on the FIFA’s website.
"My thoughts are with the families of those who have lost their lives this evening.
"This is a black day for football. Such a catastrophic situation is unimaginable and should not happen."
More than 70 fans were dead and hundreds wounded after thousands of Masry fans invaded the pitch following the team’s 3-1 Egyptian Premier League victory over Ahly.
