Match between Omonia 29M and Karmiotissa briefly interrupted due to stadium lighting failure

On September 4, 2026, the Cyprus League by Stoiximan match between Omonia 29is Maiou and Karmiotissa at the Katokopia-Epistrofi stadium faced a temporary disruption. The interruption was caused by a technical failure affecting the stadium's floodlights, which compromised visibility for the players and officials on the field.

There is a minor discrepancy between source reports regarding the exact timing of the incident. AlphaNews states that the referee halted play in the 12th minute, whereas Goal News Cy reports that referee Konstantinos Fotiou stopped the match in the 14th minute. The duration of the suspension also varies slightly, with reports indicating it lasted between two and three minutes. The technical fault was resolved promptly, and the match resumed normal play shortly thereafter without further complications.

The game is part of the second round of the Cypriot championship. Following the swift restoration of the lighting, the match proceeded to completion as scheduled without any subsequent issues reported.
