On March 20, the Greek national team suffered a 0-1 defeat to Scotland at home in a match for a spot in the League A of the Nations League for the 2026/2027 season. During this match, an unpleasant incident occurred that will surely catch UEFA's attention.
Details: The only goal of the game was scored from a penalty kick by Scott McTominay. The Napoli player was targeted with laser pointers during the penalty, although it did not affect his strike. Despite the midfielder not mentioning it in the post-match press conference, UEFA may still sanction the Greek Football Association.
There is a precedent where the English Football Association was fined £25,630 after a laser was aimed at Denmark's goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel during the Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley.
