Cyprus Football Roundup: Key Events of 2025

Published December 31, 2025, 07:29

2025 draws to a close, leaving behind a series of significant events in Cypriot football. One of the most discussed was the 'civil war' between Pafos and Omonia for a place in the Conference League, with Pafos ultimately prevailing. Simultaneously, Prodromos Petridis found himself at the center of intense discussions, as a group of investors attempted to take over APOEL in exchange for his removal, a proposal that was eventually withdrawn. Pafos won their first championship in history, while AEK Larnaca were crowned cup winners after seven years, with goalkeeper Alomerovic becoming the team's hero. Other important events include Idiakez's return to Cyprus and various changes in technical staffs and transfers that marked the year.
