APOEL spokesperson Nektarios Petevinos announced that new club president Haris Fotiou will hold his first press conference on Monday, March 30, 2026. Fotiou is expected to address the club's significant financial challenges, including unpaid debts, upcoming licensing criteria for March, and potential future budgets. The club recently managed to pay January salaries, aided by the player sales of Marius Corbu and David Abanya. Regarding team affairs, players have returned to training following a short break to prepare for the upcoming match against Aris. Several previously injured players, including Stafylidis, Diamantakos, Kattirtzis, and Meurer, are expected to be available for selection. Nektarios Petevinos also noted that Fernando Almeida has left for Brazil, while the club is working on a protective mask for Konstantinos Laifis to facilitate his return to the pitch. Reports suggest the club faces substantial financial pressure, with some sources mentioning potential needs of up to four million euros.
