Greece has suspended state funding for professional football until authorities stamp out crowd violence, it has been announced.
The move comes after clashes between fans during a Greek Cup semi-final between Kavala and Aris Salonica last week.
General secretary for sport Panagiotis Bitsaxis said: "Greeks have watched the latest troubles with rage and indignation.
"We have spoken to all the institutions but unfortunately the dialogue and agreements have collapsed. All of this forces our hand to say that violence cannot be financed from Greek taxpayers."
