11 Zamalek fans injured during league title celebrations

Eleven people on Friday suffered suffocations and injuries during gatherings held by Zamalek fans to celebrate clinching the Premier League title, the Health Ministry said.

The fans were injured due to stampedes, the ministry added in a statement.

Ten ambulances were deployed in and outside the club to serve the crowds, the statement said.

Only a man has been moved to hospital while 10 others received medical care on spot, the ministry added.

Zamalek were crowned champions for the first time since 2004 on Tuesday when rivals Al Ahli, who have dominated the league in recent years, were held to a 1-1 draw by Smouha, mathematically ruling them out of the race.
