The referee canceled the Matruh-Salum match 15 minutes before its end, after the medical staff of the Matruh club could not save the life of a football player on the field.
This happened before the player was taken by ambulance to a hospital in the province next to the stadium in an attempt to save his life, but the attempts were ultimately unsuccessful.
Sami Said died in Matruh Private Hospital after swallowing his tongue 30 minutes into the second half in a Matruh-Saloum match in the third division league.
