The Most Violent Day in Football History — Part 1 | Port Said | Dirty Game
In Episode 1 of Dirty Game, world-renowned football historian David Goldblatt — author of The Ball is Round, described by The Guardian as the definitive history of the sport — joins Egyptian journalist and Ceremony host Nada Taha to investigate what really happened at Port Said Stadium that night, and who gave the orders.
Al Ahly fans arrived by military vehicle. The stadium gates were welded shut. The floodlights went out. And the police watched. What followed was the deadliest football riot in modern history — and the cover-up that followed may go all the way to the Egyptian government.
