On 5 December, the league referees announced a collective hiatus from refereeing indefinitely, citing the attacks at the home of the referee Andreas Gamaris and his family's store, as well as the threats made by ultras of Olympiacos at Anastasios Papapetrou and his family, following his controversial refereeing as "tipping points"; they called for better protection of the referees.[6] The abstinence eventually ended on 13 December.[7]
On 11 December, the government announced its decision to hold all Super League games behind closed doors for the next two months, i.e. until 12 February 2024, as a measure to combat fan violence.[8][9] A package of new measures was decided after the serious injury and later death of a police officer that was hit by a naval flare during the incidents that took place outside the stadium, during the volleyball match between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos in Rentis.[10]
PAOK won the 4th title in their history on 19 May 2024, after defeating arch-rivals Aris 2–1, away from home in the last matchday of the play-offs, thus sealing the championship, the first since the 2018–19 season.[11]
