Cameroon were playing Comoros
SOCCER
At least eight people are reported dead and dozens injured following a crush outside an Africa Cup of Nations match in Cameroon.
The tragedy happened before Cameroon's game against Comoros at the Paul Biya stadium in the capital, Yaounde.
One child is among the dead, according to a report by the AFP news agency.
The stadium in Yaounde has a capacity of 60,000, but due to Covid-19 restrictions it was not supposed to be more than 80% full.
Approximately 1,000 fans are reported to have rushed the gates.
