Increased security measures for APOEL vs. ENP cup match at GSP Stadium

On February 11, 2026, the Cyprus Police implemented strict security measures for the cup match between APOEL and ENP at GSP Stadium. A large force was deployed both inside and outside the venue, including the specialized anti-riot water cannon unit known as Aiantas. These measures were prompted by violent incidents involving APOEL fans following a recent league game against AEK on the previous Sunday. Authorities expressed concern over the previous disturbances and aimed to prevent a recurrence of tension. Reports indicated that the heavy police presence coincided with a visible absence or dissatisfaction from some fans. No new incidents were reported during the initial phase of the security deployment. The match proceeded with the heightened surveillance to ensure public safety.
