AEL Limassol spokesperson criticizes KOP judicial committee for procedural irregularities

AEL Limassol spokesperson Nikolas Leventis has publicly criticized the Cyprus Football Association (KOP) judicial committee, labeling their recent handling of disciplinary procedures as one of the largest scandals under the current administration. Speaking on SPOR FM 95.0 on October 29, 2026, Leventis expressed frustration that the club has yet to receive the written reasoning for the disciplinary decision against the player Kafou, despite a lapse of 24 days.

Leventis further alleged that the judicial committee prematurely proceeded with hearings before the established deadline for clubs to submit their defense statements had expired. He argued that this erratic behavior compromises the integrity of the competitive process and equality among clubs. In response to these actions, AEL has officially sent a letter to the KOP demanding explanations for the procedural deviations and has invited other football clubs to express their positions on the matter.

Beyond these institutional concerns, the spokesperson addressed AEL’s recent defeat to Aris, acknowledging the opponent's victory as deserved. The team is now focusing on their upcoming match against Omonia at the GSP stadium, as they work to rectify their tactical errors and improve their performance in the league.
