Anorthosis enters critical phase in effort to lift transfer embargo

On November 10, 2026, Anorthosis Famagusta officially entered a critical stage in its efforts to overturn a FIFA-imposed transfer embargo. Club spokesperson Charalambos Parpettas confirmed that the administration has submitted a formal application for the lifting of the sanction, following an extensive period of financial restructuring and the settlement of significant outstanding obligations.

To manage the legal proceedings, a delegation of senior legal advisors has been dispatched to Switzerland to represent the club before the relevant FIFA authorities. The club leadership emphasizes that they have exhausted all available resources and made substantial financial sacrifices to resolve the issues that previously appeared insurmountable.

The organization is now awaiting a final decision from the international football governing body. This legal move represents the culmination of a long-term effort by the current administration to protect the club's interests and restore its ability to sign new players.
