AEL Limassol criticizes KOP handling of disciplinary cases

AEL Limassol spokesperson Nikolas Leventis has launched a formal protest against the Cyprus Football Association (KOP) regarding the handling of recent disciplinary proceedings. Leventis criticized the disciplinary committee for expediting hearings before the official deadline for submitting defenses had expired, labeling the action a major institutional scandal that threatens the integrity of the league. Furthermore, the club is still awaiting the written rationale for the disciplinary decision concerning the player Cafu, despite 24 days having passed since the verdict.

In response to these procedural concerns, AEL has sent an official letter to KOP demanding explanations and calling on other clubs to take a public stand regarding these governance issues. The club maintains that these administrative anomalies directly impact the competitive planning of teams and undermine the principle of equality in the league.

On the field, AEL is preparing for its eighth-round Cyprus League match against Omonia at the GSP Stadium. The team enters this match following a recent defeat by Aris. Several key players, including Denswil, who suffered a second-degree muscle tear, as well as Szoke, Peti, Cafu, Gomis, Catakovic, and Karamanis, remain unavailable for the upcoming fixture.
