Greek football disciplinary and officiating disputes

Overview

Greek football clubs have recently faced scrutiny regarding officiating and disciplinary conduct. Initially, clubs such as Panthrakikos and Panathinaikos expressed strong dissatisfaction with refereeing decisions. Panthrakikos filed a complaint regarding unawarded penalties in a match against Panserraikos, while Panathinaikos directed complaints toward UEFA, alleging that officiating errors in a match against Chrástěcký Králové reflected a “recurring pattern of lack of respect” in European competitions.

Following these controversies, the Disciplinary Committee of the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) issued several financial penalties to various clubs during the second round of the season. PAOK FC received the largest fine of 15,000 euros for a disciplinary violation. Other penalized clubs included P.O.T. Iraklis, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, and Aris FC.

Disputes regarding officiating have continued into recent derby matches. PAOK FC has filed official complaints with the EPO and the Central Refereeing Committee (KED) following their match against Panathinaikos. The club is contesting a non-call for a penalty in the 33rd minute, alleging a foul by Van den Bergh on Ndiaye. In its formal correspondence, PAOK has requested access to the audio dialogue between referee Dominik Zwayer and VAR officials Miller and Erhard Sin.

Disciplinary actions have expanded to address fan misconduct. The Discipline, Ethics and Sports Law Committee (DEAB) recently imposed administrative fines on PAOK FC and Iraklis FC. PAOK FC was fined 30,000 euros following an away match against Atromitos, due to reports of visiting fans causing extensive damage to the facility and clashing with police. Iraklis FC was fined 10,000 euros after fans reportedly detached and broke approximately 60 plastic seats during a match against Volos NPS.
