CFA disciplinary judge issues penalties for league and cup violations

The Cyprus Football Association (CFA) disciplinary judge Aristotelis Vryonidis has announced several sanctions following recent match reports. Giorgos Gekas, a trainer for Aris Limassol, was suspended for one match and fined for abusive behavior toward officials during the U19 league match against Apollon Limassol on April 25, 2026. Paphos FC faces multiple penalties including fines for a four-minute delay in match start and the possession of dangerous items by supporters. Additionally, Paphos FC was ordered to play one match behind closed doors for the use and throwing of pyrotechnics during and after a match. The club was also cited for failing to include two locally registered players under age 18 in their starting lineup as required by COCA-COLA Cup regulations. These decisions follow a broader review of reports regarding misconduct and competition rule violations within the association.
