Anorthosis vs Akritas lineups

Aris vs Omonoia lineups

We know this is fake. Saborit is left handed.

The Crystal Palace curse continues for AEK as Enzo Cabrera has been ruled out for 8-9 months after sustaining an ACL injury in the Conference League game. Cabrera is the second AEK player to pick up an ACL against Palace. Chacon went off with the same injury in the October clash.

Pafos U19 were crowned champions for the fourth consecutive season today, following an impressive 4–1 victory over Omonoia 29M. Spanish forward David Ferrer delivered a standout performance with a hat-trick, while Henrique Benko added a fourth goal to seal the win. The result confirms Pafos’ dominance at youth level, securing the title with four matches still remaining in the season.

Paralimni have announced a new constitution aimed at modernising the structure and improving the day-to-day functioning of the club, while also opening the door for greater member involvement in key areas. A central change is the extension of the Board of Directors’ term to three years, allowing for more stability and long-term planning. The new framework also ensures continuity within the board, with any departing member to be replaced immediately to avoid disruption. In a notable structural shift, the board will no longer directly manage the club’s sporting departments, including football, basketball and volleyball. Instead, these will be run by autonomous committees, with the board maintaining an overarching supervisory and financial control role. The model is designed to separate strategic leadership from operational management, with an emphasis on transparency and efficiency. The board also retains the authority to establish additional independent committees to oversee specific areas of the club’s activities.Alongside the governance changes, the club has issued a call for members to step forward and contribute to newly formed committees. These include an Asset Development Committee, focused on exploring new and innovative ways to utilise club property, and a Football Academy Management Committee, with the academy now set to operate independently from the senior football department to better support youth development. At the same time, with the current football committee set to step down at the end of the season, the club is inviting expressions of interest from individuals willing to take on responsibility for the football department moving forward. Overall, the announcement signals a shift towards a more structured and decentralised model, with the club seeking both stability at board level and fresh input across its operational departments.
