Authorities in Ajdabiya, Libya, have arrested a group of Argentina supporters following violent altercations that erupted during celebrations of Argentina’s qualification for the ongoing World Cup and Egypt’s elimination from the tournament.

According to reports, the celebrations escalated into clashes after the Argentina supporters confronted a group of Egyptian fans, leading to a disturbance in the area.

Police said they intervened to restore order after the incident disrupted traffic and breached public peace.
