World Cup problems

A stampede at a stadium hosting an exhibition game before the start of the world cup resulted in 15 people being injured and one police officer being injured. The stadium can seat around 12,000 fans, and free tickets were given out in front of the stadium. Due to the lack of control in terms of the potential number of people who might want tickets for the Nigerian team playing helped create a more hostile environment where there were two surges on the gates. This facility and ticketing process will not be used during the World Cup.
