ATHENS, Greece — "The top division soccer games will be suspended for a week at the end of the month to protest new law that has also drawn criticism from FIFA," Greek league organizers said.
"Scheduled games will not be played February 25-26 in opposition to law voted in this week that gives expanded powers to a state controlled sporting oversight committee," Organizers said. Games has planned this weekend will be played.
On Thursday FIFA warned Greek lawmakers that the country risks suspension from world soccer if the new legislation compromises the national federation's operational independence.
