Cyprus Volleyball Federation postpones league start due to foreign athlete registration issues

The Cyprus Volleyball Federation (KOPE) has officially announced the postponement of the first round of the Allwyn First Division Men’s and Women’s Championships. This decision stems from ongoing administrative issues and outstanding requirements regarding the registration of foreign athletes, which the organization is currently addressing to ensure the smooth operation of the upcoming season.

As a result of this administrative delay, the start dates for the leagues have been rescheduled. The Men’s First Division championship is now set to commence on Friday, November 6, 2026, while the Women’s First Division championship is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The federation emphasized that these changes were necessary to resolve pending documentation and procedural matters, aiming to maintain competitive integrity across the leagues.

This postponement affects the inaugural matches of the 2026 season. The federation has not indicated any further adjustments to the overall tournament schedule at this time, focusing instead on rectifying the registration issues to prevent future complications during the season.
