At least six were killed Monday in a stampede at a stadium in Cameroon during an Africa Cup of Nations football match.
Dozens were injured, including some children, when fans tried to push through the gates of the Olembe stadium in the capital Yaounde to watch Cameroon beat Comoros 2-1.
The Confederation of African Football, which runs the continent's flagship competition, said it was investigating the situation and trying to get more details on what happened.
In a statement online, the organization said it had sent its secretary general to "visit the supporters in hospital in Yaounde."
