Greek authorities banned paper tickets for league football matches to combat violence. Fans now need cellphone QR codes for identification and enforcement of bans, enhancing security measures.
Stadiums were shut for 2 months to revamp security following a police officer's death in a fan riot. Fans must purchase tickets online and use a state app for validation.
The initiative aims to minimize police presence at stadiums and reduce manpower required for security. Around 10,000 out of 80,000 season-ticket holders have transitioned to the electronic system.
