The Greek government has suspended Super League matches this week as a mark of respect following the death of a soccer fan during violent clashes. 46-year-old Kostas Katsoulis died early on Monday after he fell into a coma from an act of hooliganism involving the fans of Ethnikos Pireaus (National Piraeus) and Irodotos during a third division match in Crete on September 15.

Mr. Katsoulis, a Ethnikos Piraeus supporter suffered serious head injuries and fell into a coma.

Deputy Minister of Culture and Sports Giannis Adrianos announced that all rounds of matches involving team sports would be suspended over the weekend.
