Some 14 fans of Egyptian football club Zamalek were killed amid a brawl with police ahead of a match on Sunday, according to local reports.
Police fired tear gas on an angry group of radical Zamalek supporters known as 'White Knights,' who were trying to break into rival club ENPII's stadium to watch a fixture between the two sides, Egypt's MENA news agency said.
Authorities are currently investigating the incident which follows violence in an African Champions League match between Zamalek and Tunisian side Africain in April, 2011.
Fans stormed the pitch after the match which led to Zamalek being forced to play their following two continental home fixtures behind closed doors and pay a USD 80,000 fine by the Confederation of African Football, CAF.
