Police in Greece arrested five Croatian nationals allegedly involved in violence that led to the stabbing of a Greek soccer fan outside AEK Athens’ stadium, apprehending them as they attempted to flee the country.

Soccer fans covering their faces, most of them from Croatia, are escorted by police as they leave the Athens Police Headquarters, Greece, Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2023. Ninety-four fans of Croatia’s Dinamo Zagreb are appearing in court this morning for a preliminary hearing over Monday night’s fan violence that left a fan of Greece’s AEK dead and another eight people injured.

A 29-year-old fan was killed in overnight clashes between rival supporters in the Greek capital, prompting European governing soccer body UEFA to postpone a Champions League qualifying game between AEK Athens and Croatia’s Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday. People stand in front of a banner that reads “Big-hearted Mike, AEK forever” outside OPAP Arena, in Nea Philadelphia suburb, in Athens, Greece, Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2023.
