Team: “Greek authorities cannot guarantee the safety of Marseille fans”
Equipe explains that after the incidents in Marseille between the fans of PAOK and Marseille, the Greek authorities cannot guarantee the safety of the friends of the French team, with the scenario that they will not be allowed to travel to Greece becoming more and more likely.
The incidents that took place in Marseille between PAOK and Marseille fans from Wednesday evening, but also inside and outside Velontrom on Thursday, have alerted everyone involved to possible new riots in Thessaloniki as part of the second game for the Quarterfinals of the Conference League.
As Equipe reported on Sunday (4/10), the Greek authorities cannot guarantee the safety of Marseille fans as the scenario that they should not travel to Thessaloniki for the second leg seems more and more likely.
“The Greek authorities will only inform about this issue early next week, but they have already informed Marseille that the safety of their fans cannot be guaranteed after the episodes in the first game. 400 to 500 Marseille fans will have to travel to Greece.
UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings for the imposition of sanctions for incidents that occurred during Thursday afternoon’s first match in Marseille. “Marseille expects a heavy fine from the European association as punishment.” reported the report of the French media.
