Anorthosis Famagusta extends contract with Babacar Dione

Anorthosis Famagusta has officially announced the contract extension of 29-year-old winger Babacar Dione. The new agreement runs until May 2027, with an additional option for the club to extend the deal until 2028. Dione, who has been described in reports as either Ivorian or Senegalese, played 16 matches during the previous season. His performance last year was significantly hindered by recurring injuries. The club's decision to retain the player is considered strategic due to an existing transfer ban currently affecting the team. Anorthosis management aims for the player to recover his form and contribute more effectively in the upcoming season. Both parties have expressed a mutual intent to continue their collaboration despite the difficulties faced last year.
