El Salvador

Police in El Salvador have arrested the president of soccer club Alianza, as well as other team officials and stadium personnel, in connection with a stampede that left 12 fans dead last weekend.

Club Alianza will pay a $30,000 fine and fans will not be allowed in its stadium for a year after a stampede at the entrance gate last weekend left 12 people dead.

Officials and witnesses say that fans angry at being blocked from entering a Salvadoran soccer league match knocked down an entrance gate to the stadium, leading to a crush that killed 12 people and injured dozens.

At least nine people have been killed and dozens more injured when stampeding soccer fans pushed through one of the access gates at a quarterfinal match in El Salvador.
