Cyprus football association announces disciplinary sanctions

The Cyprus Football Association (KOP) Judicial Committee has issued a series of disciplinary penalties following recent match reviews. Key decisions include two-match suspensions for AEK Larnaca vice-president Andreas Lefkaritis and Omonia goalkeeper coach Andreas Lougridis, stemming from their conduct during the AEK versus Omonia match. Additionally, AEK Larnaca was fined for racist behavior by its fans directed toward a player named Duverne.

The committee also addressed incidents from the 2026-2027 COCA-COLA Cup first round. Christos Efstathiou of APEA Akrotiri received a fine after being sent off for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity against Nea Salamina Famagusta on October 21, 2026. Furthermore, AEK Larnaca player Nicolas Andereggen faces disciplinary action following his red card for serious foul play and subsequent unsportsmanlike conduct during a match on November 4, 2026. These rulings reflect ongoing efforts by the committee to enforce disciplinary standards across various leagues and competitions, focusing on player, official, and supporter behavior.
