September 17 – The president of Cyprus has called out the national FA for shirking its responsibilities in helping to stamp out hooliganism and violence.
President Nikos Christodoulides singled out the federation and its president George Koumas for “hiding behind” their own autonomy.
“They have responsibilities, we warned them about all of this but they continue to hide,” Christodoulides said.
His remarks came after authorities postponed a first-division match between crosstown rivals Apollon Limassol and AEL Limassol on Sunday when hundreds of AEL fans clashed with police and rushed the stadium gates.
