Greece's Super League

The summer transfer window in Greece's Super League this year was almost reminiscent of the era of seemingly boundless (albeit fragile, as it turned out) economic prosperity, with soccer clubs collectively spending some 50 million euros on new signings.

Mark Clattenburg, the head of officiating for Hellenic Football Federation (EPO), the governing body of football in Greece, merely confirmed the very obvious after the eighth week of play in Greece's Super League.

A 28-year-old soccer player was given until Monday to prepare his defense against the charge he was involved in the assault and injury of international referee Thanassis Tzilos last December in the central Greek city of Larissa.

The suspect, who turned himself in late last week after police issued an arrest warrant, plays for a team in Piraeus.

Greece's Super League referees decided on Friday to end their strike and resume officiating the country's top division that will return to action on Saturday, January 12 after a forced three-week shutdown.

Greece's Super League football competition will kick off on schedule on August 25 after Deputy Sports Minister Giorgos Vassiliadis reached a deal with the seven teams that had been left without television coverage.

Greece's Super League will finally kick off this weekend after the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) and the Super League ended their feud over referees on Monday.
