AEL Limassol demand transparency and government meetings in aftermath of derby violence
September 18 – AEL Limassol have requested a meeting with the president of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides following the violence before the derby match with Apollon on Sunday, which saw the game abandoned and three polic officers hospitalised.
A day after the riots, Christodoulides called on the local football federation to take responsibility for what happened. In a statement, the Cyprus FA condemned the violence and said appropriate punishments would be meted out. But it defended its decision to allow AEL fans in the stands because the trouble was strictly supporters clashing with police and not the direct consequence of rival fans fighting.
