AEL Limassol accuses Disciplinary Committee of procedural irregularities

AEL Limassol has publicly challenged the conduct of the Cyprus Football Association’s Disciplinary Committee following a session held on Monday, October 26, 2026. The club asserts that the committee made decisions regarding pending charges before the expiration of the deadline for submitting defense briefs, which was set for 23:59 on the same day. According to official notifications, the committee was originally expected to meet on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.

The club questioned the legitimacy of the process, specifically asking when the defense submissions were reviewed and how the committee reached conclusions without considering the clubs' formal responses. AEL representatives suggested that the hasty timeline raises concerns about the integrity of the championship schedule and potential bias. Media reports from Goal News Cy note that while the committee justified the early meeting by citing the public holiday on October 28, the decision to bypass the deadline remains a focal point of the controversy.

Currently, the situation remains unresolved with AEL continuing to demand accountability regarding the timing of the proceedings. There have been no reports of further meetings or formal responses from the committee regarding these specific allegations as of October 28, 2026.
