At least 14 people have been killed and dozens injured in clashes between police and supporters of Zamalek in their game against ENPPI in Cairo on Sunday.
The Egyptian interior ministry said that the clashes occurred after supporters of Zamalek, known as Ultras White Knights, tried to attend the match without buying tickets. Police had to use tear gas to disperse them.
In February 2012, a riot broke out at a match in Port Said, where the home Al-Masry fans attacked Cairo’s Al-Ahly supporters with different weapons. At least 72 Al-Ahly supporters were killed and more than 500 people injured.
After that incident, the interim Egyptian government banned domestic league football for two years.
