Deputy Sports Minister Giannis Vroutsis introduced new measures to combat fan violence on Wednesday.
Proposals include restricting each team to a single fan club, mandatory electronic security systems in Super League and Basket League stadiums, and fines ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 euros for “low-level fan violence.”
In compliance with the Council of Europe’s Saint-Denis Convention, a National Coordination Committee will be formed to ensure a comprehensive, cross-agency approach to safety, protection, and service provision at sports events.
Furthermore, a ticket holder identification system, developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Governance, aims to enhance security measures for sporting events.
