APOEL files appeal against disciplinary decision regarding fan attendance

APOEL FC has officially filed an appeal with the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) against a disciplinary committee ruling issued on October 26, 2026. The original decision imposed a ban on the team's supporters from traveling to the upcoming derby against Omonia Nicosia.

The appeal seeks to overturn this ban, which currently prohibits APOEL fans from occupying the southern stand at the GSP Stadium during the high-stakes match. While the CFA has scheduled the hearing for the appeal to take place on Monday, November 16, 2026, the initial disciplinary sanction remains in full force until that date.

This legal action reflects the club's ongoing efforts to secure the support of its fan base for the high-profile fixture. The final outcome of the appeal will determine whether APOEL fans will be permitted to attend the stadium and support their team in the derby, as the club continues to navigate the implications of the disciplinary committee's previous ruling.
