Fans of rival football teams have taken to the streets in Egypt, angered by verdicts over last year's deadly stadium riots in Port Said.

Thousands of Al-Ahly fans gathered at their club in Cairo to hear the verdicts being announced on live television.

Reacting to the acquittals of the seven policemen, dozens of fans headed to the police building closest to their stadium - the officers' club.

Another crowd set the headquarters of the Egyptian Football Federation ablaze. Tharwat Sueilam, the director of the federation, told Al Jazeera that there were no injuries.

Hundreds of people also took to the streets in Port Said to protest against a Cairo court's upholding of the death sentences of 21 fans accused of sparking the riots that left 74 people - most of them Al-Ahly supporters - dead.
