Anorthosis faces transfer embargo for 2026-27 season

Anorthosis Famagusta is currently navigating significant operational challenges following a FIFA/CAS-imposed transfer embargo that will impact the 2026-27 season. Due to these restrictions, the club must rely on its existing squad, loan returns, and potential contract renewals for the upcoming period. Head coach Mauro Camoranesi, whose contract runs until 2027 with no exit clause, is focusing on player evaluation during the final three matches of the current season. The team, which recently secured its position in the league after a victory against AEL, is now aiming to finish first in the second group of the league. Midfielder Michalis Ioannou recently scored his first professional goal, and the club is actively working to renew his expiring contract. Meanwhile, negotiations are underway to extend the contract of defender Kiko, who remains a key member of the squad. Players like Artymatas and Lopes are currently sidelined due to injuries. Despite media speculation triggered by cautious public comments from Camoranesi, the management maintains that the technical project remains stable.
