One person confirmed dead, 30 others injure evening following chaos that erupted outside Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Tanzania’s Health Minister Ummy Mwalimu confirmed the bad news through her verified Twitter handle saying the man who was pronounced dead is aged almost 40.

Young Africans lost to Algerian giants 2-1.

“Most of them have succumbed to minor injuries and are progressing well with treatment plus further diagnosis underway,” she said.
