56 dead in stampede at Guinea stadium as fans clash

The stampede broke out on Sunday afternoon at the stadium in the city of Nzerekore during the final of a local tournament between the Labe and Nzerekore teams in honor of Guinea's military leader, Mamadi Doumbouya.

"During the stampede, victims were recorded," Guinea's Prime Minister Amadou Oury Bah said on the X platform, without giving details. The regional authorities are working to restore calm in the area, he added.

Local media reports said security forces had tried to use tear gas to restore calm after the chaos that followed a disputed penalty call.
