ATHENS, May 6 (Reuters) - Greek soccer is set to breathe a sigh of relief as the country's controversial new sports law was submitted to parliament on Wednesday with the necessary amendments to avoid a FIFA and UEFA ban from international competition.
The bill will be voted on in parliament on Wednesday and Thursday after protracted talks between Stavros Kontonis, Greece's Deputy Minister for Education, Culture and Religious Affairs, and UEFA officials in Nyon reached their conclusion.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was also briefed on Tuesday evening ahead of the bill's submission to parliament.
