Greece to allow fans at top league football matches with strict rules
The HinduGreece will allow its top league football matches to be played with fans from February 13, two months after top clubs were ordered to play behind closed doors following the severe injuring of a police officer in violence during a volleyball match. The government said on Wednesday that fans will be able to attend Greek Super League 1 matches once again from February 13 but rules will be stricter. If there is violence during a match, a committee will impose heavy fines and order clubs to play the following match in their fixture with no fans, Deputy Sports Minister Yiannis Vroutsis told reporters. Starting from April 9, fans will also need to identify themselves via a Greek government mobile phone application at the entrance of the sports venue to attend a match, the government said.
