Greece to allow football fans from Feb. 13 with stricter rules

COVID-19 lockdown restrictions are eased in Auckland

In an effort to promote safety and curb violence in football matches, Greece has taken the decision to allow fans back into the stadiums from February 13th. This announcement comes two months after Greek Super League clubs were forced to play behind closed doors following a tragic incident during a volleyball match that resulted in the severe injury of a police officer.

Unfortunately, Greece has long struggled with violence between football fans and clubs, leading to a tarnished reputation for the sport. Criminal gangs and a small number of violent fans have plagued the sport for years, prompting the government to take action and implement reforms.
