Cypriot Referees to Oversee Cup Quarterfinals with Serbian VAR Officials

Andreas Techrani and Marios Christoforou have been appointed as referees for the two Coca-Cola Cup quarterfinal matches between Omonia – AEK (at GSP Stadium) and Apollon – Anorthosis (at “AlphaMega” Stadium). In an unusual move, the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) has decided to appoint Serbian VAR officials for these matches, adding an extra layer of scrutiny to critical decisions. The announcement of the appointments was made by the CFA and is expected to spark discussion regarding the need for external refereeing support in important games.
