The Greek football federation says it has complained to FIFA about a new law that could threaten its operational independence.
The federation, or EPO, said Thursday it would forward details of the new legislation that gives expanded powers to a state-controlled sporting oversight committee, along with transcripts that it says include ''abusive language'' used by lawmakers against the federation.
The government argues the provisions are necessary to clean up professional football leagues, amid an ongoing investigation into match-fixing scandals.
Greece was briefly suspended by FIFA in 2006 over a similar dispute, which forced the government to amend legislation.
