Indonesia: At least 125 dead in football stadium crush

in sport •  2 years ago 

At least 125 people have died in a crush at an Indonesian football match that has become one of the world's worst stadium disasters.

About 180 were also hurt in aftermath of home team Arema FC's loss to bitter rivals at the overcrowded stadium late on Saturday in Malang, East Java.

The crush took place after police tear-gassed fans who invaded the pitch.

As panic spread, thousands surged towards Kanjuruhan stadium's exits, where many suffocated.

Fifa, the world's governing football body, states that no "crowd control gas" should be carried or used by stewards or police at matches.
