In a devastating turn of events, a football match in Nzérékoré, Guinea, ended in tragedy as a crowd crush claimed the lives of dozens of spectators. The incident occurred during a local tournament match between the teams of Labé and Nzérékoré, held in honor of Guinea's military leader, Mamady Doumbouya.

The chaos erupted following a controversial decision by the referee, which led to fans of the visiting team, Labé, throwing stones onto the pitch. The situation quickly escalated as police deployed tear gas to disperse the crowd, resulting in a deadly stampede. Harrowing footage from the scene shows fans scrambling to climb the stadium walls in a desperate attempt to escape.
