Greek league to suspend soccer games for a week
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Greek league organizers say top division soccer games will be suspended for one week at the end of the month to protest a new law that has also drawn criticism from FIFA.
Organizers say that scheduled games will not be played Feb. 25-26 in opposition to a law voted in this week that gives expanded powers to a state-controlled sporting oversight committee.
Games planned this weekend will be played.
