According to AFP, citing doctors in the area, the death toll stands at approximately 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The government deplores the incidents that marred the football match between the Lab\u00e9 and Nz\u00e9r\u00e9kor\u00e9 teams this afternoon,&#8221; Prime Minister Bah Oury said in a statement. &#8220;Victims were recorded during the stampede.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The regional authorities are working to restore calm and serenity among the population,&#8221; Oury added. &#8220;The government is closely monitoring the situation and urges everyone to remain calm to ensure hospital services can provide first aid to the injured.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although official details about the circumstances of the incident remain unclear, local media report that the unrest began when two players from Lab\u00e9&#8217;s team were issued red cards, angering their supporters. Efforts to defuse the tension included calls to rescind the second red card but the situation worsened when a controversial penalty was awarded against Lab\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outraged fans began throwing objects, including stones, onto the field, prompting security forces to intervene with tear gas to disperse the crowd, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avenirguinee.org\/nzerekore-la-finale-du-tournoi-de-la-refondation-vire-a-la-tragedie\/\">Avenirguinee<\/a>. The sudden use of tear gas caused widespread panic, leading to what appears to have been a deadly stampede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional unrest in Nz\u00e9r\u00e9kor\u00e9 has been reported after the incident, including the ransacking and burning of a police station. The exact number of casualties remains unconfirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clashes and a possible stampede during a football match in southeastern Guinea have left dozens dead and injured, according to local officials, with one report putting the death toll as high as 100.
