New sports and green facilities inaugurated at CUT Paphos

On October 21, 2026, an inauguration ceremony was held for the new open-space development project catering to the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) in Paphos. Located at the intersection of Rigainis and Konstantinou Palaiologou streets, the event was attended by government spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis, representing President Christodoulides, alongside Paphos municipal authorities and CUT Rector Panagiotis Zaphiris.

The project, covering a total area of 21,067 square meters across 33 plots, was completed at an estimated cost of 3.185 million euros, including VAT. It features 15 green zones, parking areas, two playgrounds, a basketball court, a mini-football pitch, and two padel courts. This infrastructure represents the third and final stage of a wider municipal development plan, following the construction of the School of Tourism, Hospitality and Entrepreneurship and the city's student residence.

During the ceremony, acting Mayor of Paphos, Angelos Onisiforou, emphasized that these facilities are intended to upgrade the urban environment and improve the overall quality of life for residents and students. The proceedings included a blessing, project presentations, and the unveiling of a commemorative plaque.
