The action followed weekend violence at a league match between rivals Olympiakos and Panathinaikos, and a brawl between club officials Tuesday at a board meeting of league organizers.
The Greek league has already been suspended twice this season because of football-related violence.
Stavros Kontonis, the deputy minister for sport in Greece's new left-wing government, previously told private Skai television that the league would not start next season unless all 18 clubs introduce smart-card ticketing and security camera systems at matches.
