Fifa said that it had issued several warnings to the Hellenic Football Federation (HFF) to guarantee, by a 15 July deadline, that the running of football in the country would be free from political movement - but this had been ignored.

Not the 15th of July yet so they seem to be jumping the gun a bit in isuing the ban now, after all the Greeks are well know for leaving things till the last minute, look at the olympic preparations
