Greece's top division was suspended indefinitely Wednesday because of continued violence at matches, according to a government official.
The official, who asked not to be named pending an official announcement later in the day, said the decision was taken
Wednesday at meetings between sports officials and the country's new left-wing government.
Greek media have also reported the league would be suspended.
The action followed weekend violence at a league match between rivals Olympiakos and Panathinaikos, and a brawl between club officials Tuesday at a board meeting of league organizers.
The Greek league has already been suspended twice this season because of football-related violence.
Stavros Kontonis, the deputy minister for sport in Greece's new left-wing government, previously told private Skai television that the league would not start next season unless all 18 clubs introduce smart-card ticketing and security camera systems at matches.
