Two fans banned from sports venues following GSP stadium incident

On September 14, 2026, the Nicosia District Court issued a six-month ban on two individuals, aged 20 and 29, prohibiting them from entering sports venues. The individuals were also ordered to pay fines of 1,000 euros and 1,300 euros respectively.

The sentencing followed their conviction for conspiracy to commit a felony, unauthorized transport of explosives, and possession of an offensive weapon in the vicinity of a sports facility. The pair were originally arrested on May 29, 2026, at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia during the Cyprus Cup final match between Apollon and Pafos.

While one source reports that both individuals were fined over 1,000 euros each, the local report clarifies the specific penalty amounts of 1,000 and 1,300 euros. This legal action concludes the judicial process regarding the security incident that occurred during the final match.
