Greece prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has contacted UEFA president Aleksander u010ceferin to request the appointment of elite referees for their upcoming Super League Play-Off matches.
Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis this week hit out at the standard of refereeing following a meeting with the Greek FA (EPO) and referees chief Steve Bennett.
Olympiacos beat Volos in their first play-off game and face Aris on Sunday but their match with was blighted by what Marinakis believed were a number of questionable decisions by officials.
Former Premier League referee Steve Bennett, who is understood to earn around €400,000 in his role as head of refereeing in Greece, has come under fierce criticism from Marinakis and other club owners who have blamed his choice of officials for the games for decreasing standards.
