Kenyan TV pictures showed injured people being carried away from the stadium Seven people have been killed in a stampede at a football stadium in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, officials say.
The crush happened as a crowd tried to enter Nyayo National Stadium to watch a match between two of Kenya’s most popular teams.
Six people died at the stadium while another person died later in hospital, a Kenyan Red Cross official said.
Reports from Kenya say the Premier League match between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards continued despite the deaths.
A stampede at the same stadium in 2005 killed one fan, leading Fifa to ban its use in the World Cup qualifiers.
