ATHENS, Greece (AP) -Greek league organizers say top division football games will be suspended for one week at the end of the month in protest at a new sporting law that has also drawn criticism from FIFA.
Organizers say that scheduled games will not be played on Feb. 25-26 in opposition to a law voted this week that gives expanded powers to a state-controlled sporting oversight committee.
Games planned this weekend will be played normally.
On Thursday, FIFA warned Greek lawmakers that the country risks suspension from world football if the new legislation compromises the national federation's operational independence.
