APOEL Raises Concerns Over Refereeing and Faces Transfer Embargo

APOEL's press representative, Nektarios Petevinos, made statements regarding various issues concerning the team. He began by addressing the letter sent to the Cyprus FA (CFA) regarding refereeing, emphasizing that it wasn't the first and expressing concerns about the decisions of specific referees, particularly in crucial matches. He focused on three specific incidents from the recent game against Apollon, which he described as incorrect, and expressed the desire for APOEL not to be refereed by Menelaos Antoniou and Konstantinos Fotiou. He also mentioned the transfer embargo, noting the difficulties in communicating with the relevant authority, and the injury situation ahead of the match against Omonia Aradippou, where Beletz and Nanou will be absent. Finally, he expressed confidence in the team and its ability to compete, despite the absences.
