UEFA's Position on the Evagoras Pallikarides Banner in London

The Cyprus Football Association (CFA) contacted UEFA to clarify the removal of a banner depicting Evagoras Pallikarides during the Chelsea – Pafos F.C. Champions League match in London. The CFA emphasized that the banner's content did not violate any UEFA regulations, as Pallikarides' image is also included in the official logo of Pafos F.C. UEFA responded that the removal was due to the banner's dimensions, which exceeded the permitted size for the specific stand, obstructing the view of other spectators.
