UEFA's Position on the Evagoras Pallikarides Banner in London

The Cyprus Football Federation (CFF) has contacted UEFA seeking clarification regarding the removal of a banner depicting the hero Evagoras Pallikarides during the Chelsea – Pafos F.C. Champions League match in London. The CFF argues that the banner's content did not violate any UEFA regulations. The issue arose after complaints about the banner's removal, which is considered by many to be a national symbol and a tribute to Pallikarides. UEFA has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident. The CFF awaits a response from UEFA to understand the reasons for the removal and ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future.
