The government has announced a 15-day ban on all team sports in Greece following last night's clashes in Peania which left one man dead and seven others injured.
The decision was announced following a cabinet meeting this morning chaired by the PM Costas Karamanlis.
The ruling follows a similar ban imposed on football matches in Italy after the death of a policeman during violence before a game in Sicily last month.
It means that the country's professional football, basketball and volleyball programmes are all suspended this weekend. No games were arranged for the following week because of Easter.
The clashes occurred before a women's volleyball game between Panathinaikos and Olympiakos.
Six youths were arrested and another 18 were detained.
