Football Season starts in Egypt ! With no fans in the stands.
Egypt's 'football' (soccer) season started this Saturday but there weren't many fans in the stadium. Instead there was a riot ! Port Said-based Al-Masry defeated Cairo's Al-Ahly, 3-1. Then fans starts beating each other with chairs and more. Last week, a judge issued death sentences for 21 Port Said residents for their roles in the riot. It is known that both of these cities have rivalries for years.
