Egyptian football riots 'sheer butchery', FIFA seeks report

February 03, 2012

Former Tottenham Hotspurs midfielder Hossam Ghaly, who fled from Wednesday night's nightmarish Egyptian football riot, termed the scenes during the riots as 'sheer butchery'.

Ghaly is the captain of Al-Ahly, which was defeated during the match against Al-Masry. He accused rival team's supporters of provoking the supporters of his team.

"It was all-out aggression, a real fight. It was a nightmare. It was war. I have never known anything like it," he added.
