The crush took place after police tear-gassed fans who invaded the pitch. As panic spread, thousands surged towards Kanjuruhan stadium’s exits, where many suffocated. Fifa, the world’s governing football body, states that no “crowd control gas” should be carried or used by stewards or police at matches.

Fifa President Gianni Infantino said it was “a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension”.Indonesian officials at one stage put the death toll in the disaster as high at 174 people, but this was later revised downwards. President Joko Widodo has ordered that all matches in Indonesia’s top league must be stopped until an investigation has been carried out.
