APOEL approaches final agreement with investment group led by Savvas Liasis

Investment negotiations concerning the football department of APOEL in Cyprus have reached a critical stage, with a final agreement involving the club, the company, and investor Savvas Liasis expected by the end of October 2026. Constantinos Petrides, a former government minister and representative of APOEL at the Cyprus Football Association, confirmed the timeline for the finalization of the deal.

In addition to the organizational progress, reports indicate that the first financial transfer from Liasis's investment group is imminent. This capital injection is considered vital for addressing the club's immediate financial requirements, including payroll obligations. The final documents are currently being processed, with remaining outstanding issues being narrowed down to facilitate the transition.

Separately, Savvas Liasis has publicly signaled his ongoing involvement in various departments of the club. Following a challenging start for the newly established women's football team, which suffered a significant defeat in its league opener, Liasis posted a supportive message on social media addressed to management committee member Niki Xenophontos. This gesture highlights his stated intention to maintain close oversight of the broader athletic activities operating under the APOEL umbrella.
