💨 Abstract

In a tragic incident, three football fans died, and more than 70 were injured after a security barrier collapsed, leading them to fall from the upper tier of the Stade du 5 Juillet in Algiers. This occurred during the celebration of MC Alger’s title defense in the Algerian top flight. Emergency services responded to treat the injured, and hospitals across the city received dozens of victims. On no account did the incident overshadow the victory celebrations of the MC Alger team.
