The statement said the charges were based on video footage of the riot and the confessions of suspects.

It said the killing of al-Ahly fans was planned in advance and that the culprits prepared for the massacre with knifes, rocks and explosives.

Fans from the two teams have a history of animosity, but no one had expected that the heated rivalry could turn murderous.

It described how al-Masry fans threw al-Ahly supports to their death from the terraces and how they detonated explosives in their midst as they became trapped in a corridor leading to an exit gate.

Among those charged is the chief electrical engineer of the Port Said stadium, a fact that alludes to numerous witness accounts that power inexplicably went out at the venue minutes after the final whistle.

The darkness, according to witnesses, helped the assailants to attack with impunity.

On Thursday, thousands of al-Ahly fans staged a sit-in outside the office of the nation's top prosecutor, Mahmoud Abdel-Maguid, to protest what they said was the delay in filing the charges and to demand swift justice.

The Port Said riot led to the cancellation of the football league and sparked days of clashes in Cairo between police and protesters accusing the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of police, of doing nothing to protect al-Ahly fans.
