"Egypt's army has deployed troops in Port Said to prevent further clashes between fans of [football teams] Al-Ahly and Al-Masri," state television reported on Wednesday, adding that the military had also secured the road out of the city.
Forty-seven people have been arrested in connection with the violent pitch invasion, the country's interior minister said.
Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim said many of the victims had died in the crush of people at the stadium.
It was also gathered that some fans cornered the al-Ahly fans at the centre of the field and around the stadium, throwing stones and bottles at them.
In all 74 people lost their lives and 1000 people were injured in the attack.
