Cairo Football Violence

Twenty-two people were killed Sunday in clashes between Egyptian police and Zamalek football cub fans at a Cairo stadium, the state prosecutor said, in the country's deadliest sports violence since dozens died at a match in 2012.

A court in Cairo was set on Saturday to deliver a verdict on 52 people allegedly involved in a deadly football stadium riot, in a case that has already sparked widespread violence and threats of further unrest.

Among those on trial are nine security officials. The soccer melee on February 1, 2012 between Port Said's Al-Masry fans and Cairo's Al-Ahly fans was the world's deadliest soccer violence in 15 years.
