No less than 48 persons were crushed to death on February 17, 1974, hours before a friendly match between Egyptian Premier League side Zamalek SC and Dukla Prague of Czechoslovakia.
Reports say following a change of venue for the match, hordes of Zamalek fans –fearing that they would not get seats for the game — crammed in to the stadium.
As more than 80,000 people tried to gain entrance in to the 40,000 capacity stadium, the walls collapsed, a stampede ensued, and many people were left dead.
The total death toll is reported between 48 to 50 people with another 50 left injured.
