Polish football official arrested

An official from the Polish Football Association was arrested for ticket-touting outside the Aviva Stadium on Sunday before the Euro 2016 qualifier, a court heard.

Kazimierz Gren of the Polish Football Association had travelled to Dublin on an official all-expenses-paid trip for his national team’s match against Ireland which ended in a 1-1 draw.

However, the 52-year-old spent the night in a cell and had to get score updates from his guards after he was arrested at Lansdowne Road for unlawfully selling match tickets before the kick-off.
