In its announcement, the European federation emphasizes that it is in cooperation with the Greek authorities and has requested a detailed report on the incidents.
At the same time, he states that he is considering the possibility of extra security measures for the two games, first in Zagreb (15/08) and then in “OPAP Arena” (19/08).
UEFA’s announcement:
“On August 8, 2023, in view of the horrific events that took place in Athens, which led to the loss of a life, UEFA announced its decisions to postpone the match between AEK and Dinamo Zagreb that was to be played on the same day.
Following this decision, UEFA is currently in contact with the Greek national authorities and has requested to receive a detailed report of the incidents in order to review and assess the security situation and take appropriate additional measures.
