Former APOEL player Dieumerci Ndongala criticizes club leadership over lack of transparency

Former APOEL winger Dieumerci Ndongala criticized the club's leadership in a social media post on February 15, 2026. Ndongala, who played for the Cypriot team for four and a half years before departing a year ago, described the current administrative situation as sad for the country's largest club. He accused the club's leaders of frequent lying and managing without a clear vision. The player stated that he and others experienced various internal issues that remained private out of respect for the club and its supporters. However, he indicated that he intends to reveal these details in the near future. These comments followed a period of poor results for the team, including a recent 1-2 defeat by Ethnikos Achnas on the same day. Ndongala emphasized that it is expected for a large club to struggle when its leadership lacks transparency. No official response from APOEL management was included in the reports regarding these specific allegations.
