Football in Egypt has been suspended for the second time in three years after at least 22 people lost their lives in a crush at last weekend's match in Cairo between Zamalek and ENPPI.

The same sanctions were put in place after 74 people died in riots at a match between al-Masry and al-Ahly in Port Said in February 2012.

Brazil has one of the worst records for football-related deaths, but could there be a solution?

One club in the north-east of the country has been trying out a new way of dealing with the problem.

Sport Club Recife asked the mothers of football fans to work alongside regular stewards at Sunday's derby match with Náutico.

So are "security mums" the way forward?

John Williams, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Leicester, where his specialist research interests include the sociology of football and football fan culture, believes this initiative is a one-off.
