In particular, there are reports, not yet confirmed, that fans of Marseille and Livorno, who are sister cities of the Greek AEK, will arrive in Greece.

Marseille fans are twinned with AEK Athens fans and their team will face Panathinaikos on 9 August in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. In turn, Livorno fans also have close ties with AEK fans. It goes without saying that if the information is confirmed, then we are in for a real carnage, since there are already Croatian (and some Austrian) fans in Greece who are fraternizing with Panathinaikos fans.
