AEL spokesperson criticizes Cyprus Football Association judicial committee

On October 29, 2026, AEL Limassol spokesperson Nikolas Leventis publicly criticized the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) judicial committee, labeling their recent actions as a major institutional scandal. The critique stems from the committee’s decision to proceed with case hearings before the expiration of the official defense submission deadline, an action Leventis claims undermines equality and competitive integrity.

Leventis specifically highlighted the lack of a formal written rationale regarding the Kafou case, noting that 24 days have passed without the club receiving the expected document. AEL has formally addressed the matter via a letter to the CFA, requesting an explanation for the procedural irregularities and the lack of communication. Beyond these legal grievances, the spokesperson also addressed the team's recent athletic performance, acknowledging that AEL’s loss to Aris was fair due to a lack of energy and failed tactical execution in the first half. The club is now focusing on its upcoming match against Omonia at GSP Stadium, aiming to rectify past errors. As of now, AEL awaits a formal response from the CFA and has called upon other member clubs to take a public stance on the integrity of the judicial processes.
