Refereeing and VAR controversies in Greek football

Overview

Controversy regarding officiating and VAR technology has emerged within Greek football. PAE Kifisia issued an official statement criticizing refereeing decisions during their match against Aris, alleging ‘two different standards’ were applied. The club specifically cited a penalty retake involving Jeremy Antoine and a failure to issue a red card for a dangerous strike to Leroy Abanda’s head.

Discontent continued following a match between Iraklis and Kifisia. Iraklis supporters expressed frustration through banners using the phrase ‘σας VARεθήκαμε’, a play on words regarding VAR technology, to signal their belief that officiating decisions have cost the team points during the season.
