Scenes of chaos unfolded in Cairo during Al Ahly’s match against AS FAR, after sections of the Egyptian club’s supporters were seen throwing bottles toward the Moroccan fans in the stands.
The incident sparked wide anger among viewers, especially as the broadcast did not clearly show what was happening in the crowd. Many accused the match director of practicing a “blackout” by avoiding the shots that documented the disorder inside the stadium.
Videos circulating on social media captured the moment the projectiles were thrown toward AS FAR supporters, while the live coverage focused away from the area where the trouble was taking place.
The controversy quickly grew online, with calls for accountability over the actions in the stands and questions raised about why the broadcast did not reflect the full picture of what happened during the game.
