Greece's Super League "will resume this weekend with matches being played behind closed doors," according to SKY SPORTS. The league "was suspended last week after trouble at the Athens derby" but Deputy Sports Minister Stavros Kontonis has confirmed games will take place again. The move "came as a surprise, with the news revealed barely an hour after Super League and Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) officials had said nothing would be decided until Thursday." Measures to be implemented immediately "include stopping games where there were pitch invasions and crowd violence, along with the levying of fines and points deductions." Kontonis said that beginning next season, the priority will be "electronic ticketing, addressing violence in general and financial fraud." He said, "We had a long discussion and there is a road map to address and combat violence, I hope we can keep to this road map point by point. The road map includes measures to combat violence, some of which will be implemented from tomorrow (Thursday) and others from the new season because they require changes to the disciplinary code" (SKY SPORTS, 3/4).
