The head of the Greek Football Association has proposed that the governing body suspend operations in an attempt to reform the country’s domestic leagues.
Sofoklis Pilavios called a vote on the proposal by the FA executive that is expected later Friday, saying he wanted to take the game out of the “hands of hooligans, violence, and match-fixers.”
Pilavios wants the FA to be suspended on Monday—after Greece’s 2012 European Championship qualifier at home against Malta Saturday. Greece leads Group F after three straight wins.
A suspension would halt domestic and international games by Greek clubs and the national team. Greece is set to play Ecuador in a friendly in New York on Tuesday, and plays its next Euro qualifier in Israel on Sept. 2.
