Mass brawl mars Greek volleyball
A man has died and at least six people have been injured in a mass brawl between rival women's volleyball fans near the Greek capital Athens.
A pitched battle took place between fans of Olympiakos Piraeus and Panathinaikos in the Peania area. It was at a spot away from the stadium.
Witnesses say about 300 fans fought with clubs, knives and stones.
Police detained 18 people. Greek media reports suggested the fans had arranged the fight ahead of the match.
The Greek news website Ekathimerini says a 22-year-old who was driving by at the time was stabbed in the leg by hooligans who attacked his car.
Doctors said the 25-year-old who died had head injuries and stab wounds.
Three shops and two cars were damaged in the fighting.
"They were jumping on our car for five minutes, they were asking for our cellphones and stabbed our driver," one witness was quoted as saying.

I'm not really surprised. They were fighting after every single match when i played in Greece last year. On several occasions the "super fans" were kicked out of our matches for throwing rocks, etc across the court to the other fans, haha
Cyprus is not different. We share our home court with the clubs biggest rival. When we played each other only the home teams fans were allowed at the game.
Funny thing is that these fans don't come to the game because they enjoy watching or are interested in the sport. They come to start with the other fans. Kinda lame if you ask me. |

| God damn volleyball hooligans, always causing trouble for everyone. We should just ban this sport completely so no one else gets hurt. |
