At least 27 people were injured when a metal stage collapsed during a basketball game in Cairo late Saturday.
One of the iron barriers collapsed during the Super Cup game between Al-Ahly and Al-Ittihad, according to media reports. The game was canceled because of the incident.
Health Ministry spokesman Hossam Abdel-Ghaffar said most of those who were injured suffered broken bones. He said they were taken to hospitals and their injuries were not life-threatening.
Sports Minister Ashraf Sobhy said the incident occurred because of a scuffle between fans.
A committee was formed to find those responsible for the collapse.
