[12] Port Said Stadium Disaster[edit] On 1 February 2012, a riot began at Port Said Stadium at a match between Al Masry and Al Ahly. Fans of Al Masry had brought weapons and stormed the field after their team won the match. These fans then charged Al Ahly fans, who could not flee because the gates behind them were locked. [14] 74 people, mostly fans of Al Ahly, died of stab wounds, concussions, and suffocation. [15] Over 500 people were injured. [2] In the days after the riot, the police response was questioned—they appeared to do little to protect Al Ahly fans. [14] It was widely speculated that the police themselves had incited the riot, [16][17] perhaps as revenge for the role of Al Ahly ultras in the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak the previous year. [18] The violence and resulting trial tore Egypt apart for weeks. [2] The season was cancelled, [19] with Haras El Hodoud at the top of the table and possibly heading for a surprise victory.

5 109. 5 Media coverage[edit] As the two most powerful clubs, Al Ahly and Zamalek were, before 2014, allowed to negotiate their own television deals. This allowed them to gain the largest television revenue of any club. In 2014, the league negotiated a £E 70, 000, 000 ($10, 160, 000) deal with the state-owned Nile Sport Network. However, the deal still guaranteed a great deal of money for Al Ahly and Zamalek, with 10% of revenue going to the team that had won the most Egyptian Premier Leagues (which is, comfortably, Al Ahly), and 10% going to the teams who appeared on television most frequently. Still, the deal did break the tradition of allowing the two clubs to negotiate deals that produced far more profit than the rest of the clubs in the league.
