Greek football goes behind closed doors for two months

Post by Clovius Boofus » Tue Dec 12, 2023 8:48 am

Top-flight football in Greece will be played behind closed doors for the next two months in an effort to clamp down on violence at sporting events.

The Greek government took action after a police officer was severely injured in violent clashes during a volleyball match between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos last week.

Both sides are owned by the football teams of the same name.

The measure will be in place until 12 February 2024.

"Both sides are owned by the football teams of the same name."

What does that mean?
