A man wearing a suicide belt walked into an Iraqi soccer stadium Friday and blew himself up — killing at least 25 people and wounding 90 more, security officials said.

A crowd had gathered for a ceremony to mark a championship for a popular local soccer team when the bomb exploded, the head of the Babil province security committee, Baydhan al Hamdani, told CNN.

A video posted on YouTube showed soccer players approaching a table holding trophies before an explosion occurred. CNN could not independently authenticate the video.
