A number of Kuwaiti officials have consistently checked on the wellbeing of the Omani fans, who plunged to the ground in a packed football Stadium on Friday after the glass barrier holding them shattered, PAS' Director General Dr. Homoud Flaiteh told reporters.
The Kuwait News Agency quoted Flaiteh as revealing that a probe has been launched into the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate mishap.
Oman on Friday beat the UAE in a penalty shoot-out after a 0-0 draw to win its second Arabian Gulf cup, sending legions of Omani supporters into a frenzy.
