According to the country's interior ministry, ticketless supporters fought with police after being refused entry for a match against ENPPI

 At least 22 people have been killed during violent clashes ahead of an Egyptian Premier League game on Sunday.
 Ticketless Zamalek fans fought with police before their match against ENPPI at Cairo’s Air Defence Stadium.
 The Egyptian interior ministry claimed the violence was sparked by supporters attempting to storm the ground, although this version of events was denied by a group of Zamalek ultras.

"The Zamalek fans tried to get in by force, and we had to prevent them from damaging public property," a statement from the government claimed.

Zamalek fan group Ultras White Knights disputed the ministry's account, however, alleging that fans were tear-gassed as they scrambled to get in the stadium, with a "tiny metal fence surrounded by barbed wire being the only gate opened for us".
 This is the latest fatal outbreak of violence at an Egyptian league game, with the last one occurring in February 2012 when over 70 Al-Ahly supporters were killed during a riot started by Al-Masry fans in Port Said.

Since that ban, heavy restrictions on football crowds have been in place. For instance, on Sunday only 10,000 tickets were made available for Zamalek's game with ENPPI.
The Council of Ministers has opted to suspend professional football in Egypt indefinitely following the death of Zamalek fans on Sunday.
