A teenage fan of Egyptian club Al-Masry was killed in a riot after the club was banned for two seasons as a result of the tragic stadium disaster earlier this year.
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) banned Al Masry for two seasons on Friday following the ugly pitch invasion in Port Said during a clash with arch rivals Al-Ahly in which 74 fans were killed and thousands others injured.
The decision was met with outrage by Al-Masry fans, who clashed with security officials outside the Suez Canal Authority Building in Port Said late on Friday and into the early hours of Saturday morning.
Shots were fired and up to 18 people are believed to have been injured, with one teenage fan suffering fatal wounds.
One witness is quoted in The Scotsman as saying: “Hundreds of angry fans clashed with military police after the decision was announced.
“One was shot dead, in the back, and 18 were injured in the clashes, two of them are suffering gunshot wounds.
Al-Masry will be reinstated to the Egyptian league for the 2013-14 season, while the stadium in Port Said will remain closed for three years.
