APOEL Faces Financial Challenges Ahead of Centennial Year

Financial problems remain the biggest challenge for APOEL as it approaches its centennial year in 2026. Five cases are pending with FIFA, which have imposed a transfer embargo. These cases concern former coach David Gallego, his assistant, and players Cipriano, Mehri, and Wilson. Additionally, there are outstanding salary payments for 2025 and other financial obligations. The total amount required is estimated to exceed one million euros. Due to the lack of investors and the unwillingness of fans to participate in an alternative plan with the current administration, significant announcements regarding the future of the football club are expected.
