An Egyptian court hassentenced to death 21 defendants over clashes between rivalfootball fans in which 74 people were killedlast February.
The riots began minutes after a league game at Port Said stadium betweenlocal side al-Masry and Cairo club al-Ahly.
The violence - Egypt's worst football disaster - sparked riots in Cairo during which a further 16 people died.
The sentences came aftera day of clashes as the opposition marked the second anniversary of the revolution.
Last year's football riots led to the suspension of the league.
It began when al-Masry fans invaded the pitch, hurling stones and fireworks at the visitors.
At the time some fans - who said security forces appeared to do little to prevent the clashes - accused supporters of toppled President Hosni Mubarak of instigating theincident.
Seventy-three people, including policemen, were tried.
The judge said he would announce the verdict for the remaining 52 defendants on 9 March
