The
CAF Executive Committee under the chairmanship of CAF President Issa
Hayatou at its meeting on Saturday (Feb. 11, 2012), in Libreville
(Gabon) approved a financial support of $150,000 USD to the families of
the victims of the Port Said tragedy.
Over
70 fans lost their lives and scores injured during an Egyptian Premier
League match between Al-Masry and Al-Ahly on February 1, 2011 in Port
Said.
It
would be recalled that the CAF flag has been flying at half mast since
the tragic event. Also, a minute of silence is observed in honour of the
victims from the quarter finals stage till the final of the ongoing
2012 Orange Africa Cup of Nations.
