One of the deadliest stadium tragedies occurred during an Indonesian football game when at least 174 people perished in a crash.
In the wake of the host club Arema FC’s defeat to ferocious opponents at the packed stadium late on Saturday in Malang, East Java, some 180 people also sustained injuries.

After police used tear gas to disperse people who had entered the pitch, the crash occurred.
Thousands rushed towards the exits of Kanjuruhan stadium as panic ensued; several of them suffocated.
According to Fifa, which oversees football worldwide, neither stewards nor police officers at games should possess nor employ “crowd control gas.”
According to one witness who spoke to the BBC, police shot multiple rounds of tear gas “continuously and rapidly” as the situation with the supporters became “heated.”
