Pafos FC faces administrative uncertainty and performance challenges

Pafos FC is currently navigating a period of internal instability following the decision of Roman Dubov to step down as president. This administrative transition coincides with a decline in the team's performance, which has raised concerns regarding their competitiveness in the national championship. The squad is preparing for an upcoming match against Omonoia at the GSP Stadium following the league's break. Historically, Pafos has struggled at this venue, failing to secure a win against Omonoia since their victory in the 2024 Cup final, recording three losses and one draw since then. Coach Thelades is now under pressure to inspire the players to regain their previous form. The team remains focused on secondary goals, including qualifying for European competitions either through league standings or by defending their Cup title. Players have been urged to leverage the current break to refocus and demonstrate the consistency that defined their previous season. The quality of the roster is considered sufficient to overcome these current hurdles.
