Greece forced to play Rugby League World Cup qualifier in England as feud with modern pentathlon continues

Greece have confirmed that their home Rugby League World Cup qualifier against Scotland will be played in London amid the bizarre feud with the country's modern pentathlon body.

Despite being a completely different sport, the Hellenic Federation of Modern Pentathlon (HFMP) has been recognised by the Greek Government as the national rugby league body.

This arrangement is not endorsed by the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF) who instead recognise the Greek Rugby League Association (GRLA) as its official member.

However, the GRLA are unable to play their match with Scotland in Athens without permission from the Government and the HFMP, who insist they should run the sport.
