70 fans in custody
Shots fired outside stadium! Three injured before test match
Rival fan groups of the traditional Greek club Panathinaikos Athens fought a mass brawl outside the club's soccer stadium in the center of Athens on Saturday.
According to reports by Greek radio (ERT), at least three people were injured. One of them was shot. As dpa learned from police sources, more than 70 fans were taken into custody. It was initially unclear what caused the brawl.
Only Panathinaikos supporters are said to have been involved. On Saturday evening, Panathinaikos hosted Cypriot side AEK Larnaca for a pre-season match at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium, and the referee blew the whistle despite the previous riots. Due to temperatures of almost 40 degrees in Greece's capital, only around 500 fans attended the match.
Greek soccer has been rocked by riots for years. Last year, three fans were killed in serious riots.
