The fire erupted in the second half of the game between league leaders Pyramids and the Alexandria team Smouha. Firefighting vehicles intervened to control the flames, which were found to have started in the main control room and the cables of the stadium's box. The referee decided to suspend the match and evacuate the players from the field until the fire was under control.
