Following the unsavoury incidents witnessed at the Super League match between Olympiacos and PAOK during December, a meeting took place in Switzerland between FIFA, UEFA, Evangelos Grammenos (President of the Hellenic Football Federation) and Lefteris Avgenakis (Deputy Minister of Sport). FIFA subsequently invited the owners of AEK (Dimitris Melissanidis), Olympiacos (Evangelos Marinakis), Panathinaikos (Giannis Alafouzos) and PAOK (Ivan Savvidis) to a meeting in January in order to fix the current problems in Greek football together.

Reports in the media have now stated that the meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday 22 January in Athens.

Deputy Greek Minister of Sport, Lefteris Avgenakis, will attend the meeting alongside the club owners and Savvidis’ translator. Officials from FIFA and UEFA will also be present.

It remains to be seen if the involved parties will be willing to come together productively to improve the state of the national game. The 2019/2020 Super League has been hit by more stadium bans and clubs taking swipes at each other with several argumentative statements.
