Anorthosis FC seeks to overturn FIFA transfer ban
The new administration of Anorthosis FC is actively seeking an early lifting of the transfer ban imposed by FIFA, which is currently scheduled to remain in effect until the summer of 2027. Despite the existence of a final ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), club officials Christos Marangos and Savvas Koumis are exploring legal avenues to reduce the severity of the sanction.
To facilitate this effort, Christos Marangos has traveled to England to consult with specialized legal experts in international sports law. The club's defense strategy focuses on the recent change in leadership and the ongoing commitment to settling outstanding financial obligations owed to former players and creditors. While the administration acknowledges that reversing a definitive CAS decision is an extremely difficult task, they maintain that these administrative changes justify a review.
Currently, the club management remains cautious regarding the outcome of these diplomatic and legal maneuvers. The presence of the club president in England highlights the critical priority placed on resolving this issue to restore the team's ability to conduct future recruitment.
