Pafos FC Fans Honor Cypriot Hero Evagoras Pallikaridis

Pafos FC is hosting Slavia Prague, and as is customary, the team's fans displayed a banner featuring Evagoras Pallikaridis. This highlights the importance of Pallikaridis as an iconic figure in the Cypriot independence struggle. Pallikaridis, a pioneer in the liberation struggle (1955-1959) against the British, remains a source of inspiration and national memory for Cypriots. The presence of the banner in international matches is considered important for promoting Cyprus's history and values abroad, as well as honoring the fighters for freedom.
