A riot broke out Sunday night outside of a major soccer game in Egypt, violence that killed at least 14 people, Egyptian state television reported. The violence, only three years after similar violence killed 74 people, began ahead of a match between Egyptian Premier League clubs Zamalek and ENPPI at Air Defense Stadium just outside of Cairo. Zamalek fans said the death toll likely was higher. Security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity as they weren't authorized to speak to journalists, said Zamalek fans tried to force their way into the match without tickets, sparking clashes.
