The Greek soccer season has been thrown into turmoil following a series of clashes between rival fans that have resulted in a police officer being critically injured. The incident occurred during a match between the two teams, PAOK and AEK, in the Greek Super League on Sunday.
The match was abandoned after a group of PAOK supporters clashed with police officers in the stands, resulting in one officer being critically injured. The officer was taken to hospital and is currently in a serious condition.
In response to the incident, the Greek Football Federation (EPO) has decided to postpone all Greek soccer matches until further notice. This includes all matches in the Super League, the Greek Cup, and the Greek Second Division.
The decision has been made in order to ensure the safety of players, officials, and fans. The EPO has also called for an investigation into the incident and has urged all clubs to take measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
The incident has been widely condemned by both fans and officials alike. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said that “violence has no place in sport” and called for those responsible to be brought to justice.
The incident is just the latest in a series of violent clashes between rival fans in Greece. In recent years, there have been several incidents of violence at soccer matches, including clashes between fans of PAOK and AEK.
It is hoped that the postponement of matches will help to reduce the risk of further violence. However, it is clear that more needs to be done to tackle the problem of fan violence in Greece.
In the meantime, all eyes will be on the Greek Football Federation as they investigate the incident and look for ways to ensure that such incidents do not occur again.
