According to Al- Ahram, a reputable Egyptian news source, 74 people died and hundreds were injured in Port Said, Egypt during a riot at a soccer game yesterday. The soccer game between teams Al-Ahly and Al-Masry was part of the Egyptian Soccer clubs cup. People don’t know exactly why those young people died (many were just teenagers), but claims are that the Port Saidian police let the event happen and did not interfere. The Egyptian government said it will be investigating to find out more about the riot.

People commentating on this incident on Egyptian news sites are also blaming the Egyptian military for not providing protection for the spectators. The riot started at the end of the soccer game when Al-Masry’s (the winning team) spectators attacked the Al-Ahly fans. Many Egyptians claim that the massacre was planned and is part of a plan to unleash chaos on the Egyptian streets. Also according to Al-Ahram, the Port Saidian governor has resigned and the Egyptian Clubs soccer cup has been canceled indefinitely.
