Anorthosis appeals disciplinary sanctions from the Cyprus Football Association

On October 5, 2026, the Appeals Court of the Cyprus Football Association (KOP) is scheduled to hear an appeal filed by the football club Anorthosis. The club is challenging disciplinary sanctions imposed by the KOP Judicial Committee, which include a one-match stadium ban for home games and a prohibition on fan attendance at away matches. The hearing is set to take place at the KOP headquarters in the afternoon.

Anorthosis officials have expressed optimism regarding the appeal, citing perceived inconsistencies in the Judicial Committee's ruling compared to recent similar cases. The club is currently struggling in the league standings, having secured only three points since the beginning of the season, with the exception of a victory against APOEL. A successful appeal could allow fans to attend the upcoming match against Paphos at the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium. Following this fixture, the team faces critical games against Omonia 29M and Omonia Aradippou, matches deemed essential for the club's attempt to improve its competitive position.
