Al Ahly have announced a three-day mourning at the club in the wake of the deadly events that marred the team’s game with Masri, vowing not to forgive what happened in Port-Said.
Thousands of Masri fans invaded the pitch after their team’s victory over Ahli, clashing with the visiting supporters and causing the death of 73 people.
“The board will announce mourning for three days at the club where all sports activities will be suspended,” Ahli board member Khaled Mortagi told the club’s satellite channel.
“We will not forgive what happened and justice will be served for the lives taken.
“The club will raise the case to the highest authorities in order to open an immediate investigation.”
