APOEL launches financial relief campaign under new president Haris Fotiou
Following a press conference by the new APOEL president, Haris Fotiou, the football club launched a fundraising platform to address its severe financial challenges. By April 1, 2026, the campaign successfully raised approximately 177,605 euros from 1,873 individual contributions within its first 24 to 48 hours. The club requires a total of 5.5 million euros by the end of the season to stabilize its operations. As part of the restructuring, the president's shares were transferred to a trust managed by four individuals to ensure transparency and accountability. Fotiou emphasized a data-driven management approach, rejecting reliance on speculative revenue. While the fans have shown significant support, club officials and analysts acknowledge that the club still requires institutional investors to survive. Meanwhile, the team continues its domestic league campaign, preparing for an upcoming match against Aris at the GSP Stadium with key squad rotations.
