[1/2] Soccer fans detained following violent clashes between AEK Athens and Dinamo Zagreb soccer fans, that lead to the death of a man, are taken to a magistrate, in Athens, Greece, August 11, 2023.
"This is the cancer of football and those are not football fans," Ceferin said.
"Violence and hooliganism are not only a Greek problem," he said adding European countries, institutions and media had to work together to help end football violence.
Greece has made repeated efforts to reform soccer, which has been plagued by violence on and off the pitch.
Mitsotakis said that Greece was exploring a further tightening of rules to help end violence at sporting events.
