Cyprus football league action and referee assignments for the third round

The third round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan commences on September 11, 2026, with a match between AEL Limassol and Nea Salamina at the Alphamega Stadium. This weekend features several high-profile fixtures, including Anorthosis Famagusta against APOEL Nicosia and Omonia Nicosia facing Apollon Limassol. Additionally, the second division championship begins on the same date with a match between Ermis Aradippou and Akritas Chlorakas at the Ammochostos-Epistrofi stadium.

Referee assignments for the third round were announced by the Cyprus Football Association, notably omitting Marios Christoforou and Dimitris Solomou following complaints from Anorthosis regarding their performance in the previous round. Teams such as AEL are currently looking to rebound from heavy defeats, while other clubs are seeking their first victories of the season. The competition continues through September 14, with various teams navigating roster challenges and suspensions, including AEL, which will be without Kafu due to a red card.
