The Corniche

On 1 February 2012, a massive riot occurred at Port Said Stadium in Port Said, Egypt, following an Egyptian Premier League football match between Masry and Ahly. 74 people were killed and more than 500 were injured after thousands of Masry spectators stormed the stadium stands and the pitch, following a 3–1 victory by their team, and violently attacked Ahly fans using clubs, stones, bottles, and fireworks, getting them all trapped in El Ahly partition of the stadium.

Al Masry Club Stadium (Egyptian Arabic: ستاد النادي المصري‎), formerly known as Port Said Stadium (Egyptian Arabic: ستاد بور سعيد‎), is a multi-use all-seated stadium in Al Manakh, Port Said, Egypt, which opened in 1955 and inaugurated by Hussein El Shafei, the Egyptian minister of social affairs on behalf of President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
