Danish complaint relocates Greece friendly

January 20th, 2009 | By: Peter Katsiris | No Comments »

A complaint by the Danish Football Federation has forced the Hellenic Football Federation’s (EPO) hand to relocate the February friendly between Greece and Denmark back to Piraeus.

According to the EPO, the Danish Football Federation complained travelling to Volos for a friendly against the EURO 2004 winners would inflict too much trouble for their squad who will arrive in Greece at the Eleftheros Venizelos Airport in Athens.

Acknowledging the trouble their opponents could have during their trip to central Greece, the EPO relocated the friendly to the Giorgos Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus – the original venue of the friendly.

Greece to host Israel in Crete
While Athenians were granted one more match, another was taken away from the capital as the EPO confirmed the World Cup Qualifier with Israel in March will in fact be played in Crete.

While it was rumoured Greece would shift its home ground for the qualifier to Crete last month, the move of abandoning a rather unsupportive Athenian crowd came earlier than expected for the EPO who had planned to just play Greece’s final two qualifiers on the island.
