Egypt's football federation has been dissolved from violence erupting after a match, leaving At least 74 people dead, and hundreds more injured in Port Said. Supporters of the home team Al Masry and Egypt's top club Al Ahly stormed the pitch and scores of fans were stabbed to death and others suffocated after they became trapped in a corridor as they tried to flee. The clashes, which are the worst case of football violence in the country and the deadliest worldwide since 1996, have sparked fresh concerns about Egypt's stability. Many Egyptians have blamed the police and the ruling military for failing to prevent the rioting, amid claims the security lapse was intended to stoke uncertainty.
