AEZ Zakakiou withdraws from CFA competitions and ceases operations

On September 22, 2026, the Cypriot football club AEZ Zakakiou officially notified the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) of its withdrawal from the 2026-2027 third division championship and the U-19 third division youth league. The club cited severe financial difficulties and an inability to meet its competitive obligations for the current season, leading to its permanent removal from the association's registers.

Following this decision, all scheduled matches involving AEZ Zakakiou will be awarded as 3-0 victories to their opponents in accordance with the third division championship regulations. This development marks a significant decline for the Limassol-based club, which competed in the first division during the 2023-2024 season and spent the previous two years in the second division before this withdrawal.
