Toumba Stadium

Four fans of Scottish football club Hearts were detained in Thessaloniki on Wednesday night when a fight broke out between them in the popular bar district of Ladadika.

One of them, aged 24, was arrested after a small quantity of cocaine was found in his possession, while the rest were released. 

The fan is expected to appear before a prosecutor on Thursday. 

Suspected supporters of PAOK soccer club vandalized four public buses on Sunday evening in Thessaloniki, northern Greece.

The incident occurred on Line 14, which was transporting fans to the Toumba Stadium for the match against AEK Athens.

Police are currently investigating to identify the perpetrators responsible for the damage.

PAOK celebrated on Sunday, and well into Monday morning, the third league title in its history, and the first after 34 years on a historic night at Toumba Stadium of Thessaloniki.

PAOK is closer than ever not only to winning its first league title after 34 years, but also to finishing the league unbeaten, after comprehensively defeating its main rival Olympiakos 3-1 at home on Sunday.

When Greek league rivals AEK Athens and PAOK Thessaloniki met last season, a disallowed goal late in the match - which was, finally, allowed - threw the sport into chaos.

After a long delay the Disciplinary Committee of the Super League decided on Thursday to issue its verdict on the abandoned game between PAOK and AEK, slapping PAOK with point deductions, stadium ban, fines and suspensions to top PAOK officials.

Sunday's events at Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki will have repercussions well beyond the soccer pitch, as the law dictates that the action will now unfold in the country's sports and criminal courts. What is at issue here is not just be the fate of PAOK, but also the pitch invasion by its armed owner, Ivan Savvidis - a tangible illustration of the oligarch's belief that he is above the law.

Greece's soccer is rapidly descending into farce after another abandoned game in Toumba, the storming on the pitch by PAOK strongman Ivan Savvidis with a gun under his belt and the federation's court decision that favored PAOK against the rules, all of which are likely to lead to a temporary suspension of the league.

The referee of the abandoned PAOK vs AEK game for the Super League on Sunday wrote in his match report that he changed his mind again in the locker room and decided that the controversial PAOK goal should stand, but added that he stopped the game due to the pitch invasion by PAOK owner Ivan Savvidis. The league is likely to be suspended indefinitely now.

A 27-year-old man was arrested late on Sunday accused of hurling the till roll that struck Olympiakos manager Oscar Garcia on Sunday at PAOK's Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki that forced the referee not to start the game between the two teams. The Spanish coach left hospital on Monday.
