August 14 – UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin will hold a meeting with Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday in Athens to discuss the recent unrest between AEK Athens and Dinamo Zagreb fans.
Last week a 29-year-old AEK supporter died during the clashes in the Greek capital before a Champions League qualification match that was later postponed.

Representatives of the country’s four major clubs — AEK Athens, Olympiakos, PAOK and Panathinaikos — as well as government sporting officials have been invited to attend the discussions.
Тhe Hellenic Football Federation said that after the end of the meeting they will announce details of the conversation between Ceferin and Mitsotakis.
