After Riot, Egyptian Soccer Will Resume—In Empty Stadiums

After Riot, Egyptian Soccer Will Resume—In Empty StadiumsTwo weeks after a politically charged riot at a game in Port Said resulted in 74 deaths, Egyptian soccer's interim chairman says the Egyptian Premier League will resume play once their investigation is completed.
