Now he cannot watch his team

-

– Not only will a 19-year-old Greek hooligan stop attending a match of his favourite team, but he’ll also have to be in the local police precinct at the time of the contest.

A court in the northern Greek city of Volos has ordered the Olympiakos Volos fan to report to the police station two hours before the local team plays, whether home or away, and not to leave until two hours after the match.

The penalty, which takes effect immediatel­y and for a time period still to be decided, was due to him invading the pitch in 2014 when he was just 14 in a local derby between Olympiakos Volos and Nikis Volos.

His lawyer said his client works for a fast food restaurant making deliveries and during the matches has a heavy workload meaning he will lose his job. –
