Police search for individuals involved in GSP stadium riots

The Cyprus police have published photographs of several individuals sought in connection with separate violent incidents at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia. One set of investigations relates to illegal assembly, rioting, and malicious damage occurring on February 8, 2026, following the APOEL vs. AEK Larnaca football match. Additionally, authorities are seeking persons linked to a separate case involving illegal assembly, rioting, and assault against police officers causing actual bodily harm, which took place on December 13, 2025, during a match against Krasava ENY Ypsonas. Reports mention that some suspects allegedly broke into police patrol vehicles and seized equipment, including radios, some of which were later abandoned. The public has been urged to contact the Strovolos Police Station or the Citizen's Line at 1460 with any relevant information. Investigations are ongoing, and photos have been released to facilitate the identification process. These events highlight persistent concerns regarding fan conduct and safety measures within the stadium environment.
