Cyprus FA Disciplinary Decisions: Penalties for Apollon, APOEL and Other Teams

The Cyprus FA's Disciplinary Judge has issued a series of decisions regarding misconduct in football matches. The decisions involve players and coaches from teams in the first, second, and third divisions. Specifically, fines were imposed on players BELEC VID (APOEL), Michalis Charalambous (EN Paralimni), and Paris Mavroftis (Kedros), as well as coach Giorgos Safaris (Ethnikos Latsion) and coach Christos Katsioloudis (Atlas Aglantzias). Konstantinos Papasofroniou (EN Thoi Lakatamia) and Jozef Vrahimis (Atlas Aglantzias) faced heavier penalties, including a three-match ban and a fine for the former, due to violent conduct and involvement in post-match incidents. These decisions were based on reports from referees regarding unsportsmanlike behavior, violent play, and denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity. The news reports that the decisions relate to matches played or scheduled to be played in January 2026.
