Police arrest 13 during Ahly-Zamalek match

Security services, in collaboration with police, arrested 13 Zamalek football club fans for throwing stones at passing vehicles on Nasr Street following Wednesday night's match with Al-Ahly.

Some of the Zamalek fans allegedly set fire to the stadium’s second-tier seats and the passages leading to the third-tier seats. The flamers were extinguished by civil defense forces.

Zamalek fans raised banners with slurs against Ahly attacker Emad Met’eb and his wife. Ahly fans, for their part, raised banners caricaturizing Zamalek coach Hossam Hassan and football director Ibrahim Hassan, which led to verbal exchanges between fans of each team.
