Send to KindleThe headquarters of the Egyptian Football Federation and a police officers' club were set on fire by angry fans on Saturday.
The violence erupted after an Egyptian court confirmed the death sentences previously handed down to 21football fans for their role in a stadium riot last year.
Seven police officials were acquitted for their alleged role in last year's riot, which claimed 74 lives.
Most victims were supporters of a Cairo team, and fans there criticised the sentencing for not going far enough. Fans of Cairo's al-Ahly team are said to have torched a police club and the Egyptian Football Federation.
Meanwhile, in Port Said, fans of the local team accused the court of unfairness. Some Port Said demonstrators tried to block the Suez Canal by untying speedboats and setting them adrift, according to the BBC.
