Egypt's Cabinet has suspended the national soccer league until further notice after at least 25 fans were killed in clashes with police and a stampede outside a Cairo stadium.
The Cabinet announced the move late on Sunday.
The riot, coming three years after similar violence killed more than 70 people, began ahead of a match between the Egyptian Premier League clubs Zamalek and ENPPI at Air Defense Stadium east of Cairo.
