Al-Masry to demolish part of Port Said stadium

Cairo – 4 September 2017: The management of Al-Masry football club is ready to write a formal letter to the Ministry of Youth and Sports on September 3, requesting money to support the demolition of the eastern stands of the Port Said stadium.

After the club’s management decided to demolish part of the stadium, they prepared to talk with officials to save a budget to reconstruct the demolished section, an Al-Masry management official told Al Masrawy on Sunday.

It is worth noting that the stadium was the site of the 2012 Port Said Massacre, in which 72 spectators died as clashes erupted in the stadium.

The team is gearing up for the opening match of the upcoming league against Wade Della.

Last season Al-Masry came in fourth place.
