GENEVA (FIBA) - FIBA unconditionally condemns the violence that occurred during the Final of the Acropolis tournament between Greece and Serbia that was played in Athens, Greece last night.

In the opening day of the 24th annual "Acropolis Cup" held every August in Athens Serbia started off with a tough win over Slovenia in the dying seconds while Greece literally butchered Canada setting a new record.
