» Greece suspends team sports
Published 2007-04-02
No official team sports will take place in Greece for the next 15 days, the government decided yesterday as a measure to prevent further violence between fans following the death of a supporter on Thursday during a fight involving some 500 hooligans.
The drastic move was announced after an emergency meeting between Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, Public Order Minister Vyron Polydoras, Justice Minister Anastassis Papaligouras, Sports Minister Giorgos Orfanos and government spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos.
It was also agreed that the three ministers would set up a committee to ensure that a harsher law introduced last year to combat fan violence is enforced fully.
