At least 174 people are dead after chaos and violence erupted during an Indonesian league soccer match into the early hours of Sunday, according to Indonesia’s National Police Chief in what is one of the world’s deadliest stadium disasters of all time.

Supporters of Arema FC and rival Persebaya Surabaya, two of Indonesia’s biggest soccer teams, clashed in the stands after home team Arema FC was defeated 3-2 at a match in the city of Malang in East Java, police said.

Supporters from the losing team then “invaded” the pitch and police fired tear gas, triggering a stampede that led to cases of suffocation, East Java police chief Nico Afinta said during a press conference following the event.

Two police officers were also among the dead, he said, adding that the crush occurred when fans fled for an exit gate.

More than 300 people were injured, according to Indonesian authorities, with fears that the death toll could rise.

Earlier on Sunday, the governor of the East Java province, where the incident occurred, said the death toll was at 131. National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo clarified the discrepancy of the previous higher numbers saying it was due to some casualties being recorded twice.

Footage captured from the stands shows how quickly the situation descended into chaos as fans and police clashed.

“Together with FIFA and the global football community, all our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, those who have been injured, together with the people of the Republic of Indonesia, the Asian Football Confederation, the Indonesian Football Association, and the Indonesian Football League, at this difficult time.”

Clubs and associations around the world including the Germany national team, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Ajax expressed their shock and sadness at the tragedy, while Spanish top flight La Liga announced that it would hold a minute’s silence before matches.

The events in Indonesia are among one of the worst stadium disasters at a football match in history.

A total of 320 people were killed and over a 1,000 injured during a Peru-Argentina Olympic qualifier in Lima in 1964 during a stampede.

In 1985, 39 people died at the Heysel stadium in Brussels, Belgium, when fans were crushed against a wall that then collapsed during the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus.

Just four years later 96 people were killed at Hillsborough in the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. The death toll was moved up to 97 in 2021 when it was ruled another supporter was unlawfully killed by effects of the crush 32 years earlier.
