OLYMPIACOS REQUESTS POSTPONEMENT UNTIL A FOREIGN ELITE REFEREE IS FOUND

Olympiacos is requesting a postponement of their Cup match against an unnamed opponent until an elite referee is appointed. The Olympiacos P.A.E. is protesting the appointment of a Greek referee, while an agreement had been reached for foreign referees to officiate matches between the Big 4 teams. The club's announcement characterizes the possible refereeing by a Greek referee as a provocation and calls on the Refereeing Committee and the Hellenic Football Association to ensure the presence of an elite referee, otherwise the match should be postponed.
