Greek football leagues suspended after latest fan violence

Sunday’s game between bitter Athens city rivals Panathinaikos and visitors Olympiakos was marred by a pitch invasion despite a heavy police presence.

The players and officials of Super League leader Olympiakos were also pelted with various projectiles and flares.

In a statement on its official website, Borovilos said solutions needed to be found to “chronic problems” afflicting the game.

He said it would be working with the government over new measures, including electronic ticketing, greater controls on supporters’ clubs and a toughening of the disciplinary code.
