Over 30 football supporters injured after stadium's glass barrier breaks as fans celebrate in Gulf Cup victory (Photos)
Nearly 40 football supporters from Oman were injured on Friday
evening after a glass barrier broke during celebrations following the
country's Gulf Cup win over the United Arab Emirates.
The incident occurred at the Jaber International Stadium after Oman
claimed the title for the second time in the nation's history with a 5-4
penalty shoot-out win following a scoreless 120 minutes play.
During wild celebrations, the fans pressed against the glass, which
suddenly broke, leaving nearly 40 football supporters to fall from the
fans stand.
According to reports, the wounded supporters were taken to the nearby
Farwaniya Hospital to receive treatment following the incident at the
60-000-capacity stadium in Kuwait City.
The Kuwait Football Association later confirmed on its Twitter
account that 'around 40 people' had been hospitalised for minor
injuries, while others whose injuries weren't serious were treated at
the scene.
