11/10 0708  GREECE WORLD CUP QUALIFIER HAS DANGER WARNING

    By Costas Paris
    ATHENS, Nov 10, Reuter - Greece's World Cup soccer qualifier against Hungary
on Wednesday could prove more dangerous off the pitch than on for the host team.
    The match will take place in the northern city of Salonika and the world
governing body FIFA have warned of possible violence.
    The European ruling body UEFA banned local club PAOK from European
competition for two years last month when angry fans set fire to seats and
stormed the pitch at the end of the first half of their UEFA Cup match against
France's Paris St Germain.
    At least 10 people were injured in clashes with riot police, eight were
arrested and the match was abandoned.
    It was not the first trouble at the stadium either -- Salonika were banned
from playing at home in October 1991 after crowd disturbances against Mechelen
of Belgium.
    A Greek Football Federation official said on Tuesday that FIFA had listed
the match as one of "high danger" and police had taken extra measures to prevent
any trouble.
    Some 400 police officers, including riot units, will be on patrol inside and
outside the stadium.
    On the pitch, Greece's worries were eased by the news that Hungary's star
midfielder Lajos Detari has suffered a leg injury and will not play in the group
five match.
    "Detari's absence is an advantage for us. He is the player who organises
Hungary's attacks," Greek coach Alketas Panagoulias said.
    Detari injured his tendon on Sunday in a match with his Italian club Ancona
against Brescia. He will be out of action for five days.
    The top two in the group qualify and the Greeks, hoping to reach the finals
for the first time, are competing against Russia, Hungary, Iceland and
Luxembourg.
    Greece and Russia lead on four points followed by Hungary and Iceland with
two points.
