Pafos FC wins Cyprus Cup as arrests occur during final
Pafos FC won the Cyprus Cup final at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia, defeating Apollon Limassol 2-0. Coach Ricardo Sa Pinto secured his second trophy in Cyprus shortly after joining the team. During the event, two men were arrested: a 31-year-old for attacking a security guard with a flare, and a 19-year-old caught with five fireworks, 13 firecrackers, and eight flares in his vehicle, who was subsequently remanded in custody for four days. The match featured incidents of violence that will be reviewed by the sports judge based on the referee's report. Meanwhile, AEL Limassol is preparing for a new season under Costas Constantinou, who remains the sole candidate for leadership. AEL is currently reorganizing its roster, including the departures of team captains Vasilis Papafotis and Andreas Makris. Furthermore, discussions regarding the potential restructuring of the Cyprus football league to reduce teams to 12 are currently underway.
