APOEL launched a strong attack against the VAR operator in the team's match against Ethnikos Achna. The company's management requests that he should not be appointed again to games of the team or Cypriot football. APOEL's management described the VAR operator's performance as unacceptable, without specifying the disputed decisions. APOEL’s announcement demonstrates the team's strong dissatisfaction with the use of VAR and raises questions about the effectiveness and integrity of refereeing in Cypriot football.
