A 22-year-old fan died after being seriously injured in violence among fans of AEK Athens and Dinamo Zagreb soccer clubs in Athens
A Champions League match in Greece has been postponed after a fan died during a brawl with supporters of Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb, European soccer’s governing body UEFA said on Tuesday. The Greek football fan died on Monday night in Athens after he was “injured by a sharp object,” Greek police told CNN. The police said they arrested 96 people including 87 Croats and five Greeks. One Austrian, one German, one Bosnian and one Albanian were also arrested, they said.
The incident happened in the Nea Filadelfeia neighborhood in the outskirts of Athens, home of the AEK Athens football club’s home stadium, where the Champions League qualifying match between AEK and Dinamo Zagreb had been due to take place on Tuesday. However, UEFA said that the “conditions for the match” to go ahead “are not met” following consultation with local authorities, resulting in the game’s postponement.
