Women's football update: Defending champions Apollon Ladies secured a 1-0 victory over Peyia Akamas in the standout clash of the second round of the Women’s Championship, thanks to a goal from Pearce in the 79th minute. The match, held at the Parekklisia Community Stadium, kept fans on the edge of their seats throughout. With this victory, Apollon Ladies moved up to six points. Omonoia Nicosia also have six points after claiming a 2-0 away victory over Aris Limassol. Meanwhile, Lakatamia FC recorded their first win of the season with a 5-2 victory over Xylofagou FC.

From @CyMeridian78785 It’s official: El Maestro is leaving Anorthosis, and we have fresh information about the club’s new head coach. It won’t be Traianos Dellas taking charge of Anorthosis, but another coach - and the deal is already done!

And so it begins…. Managerial casualty #1 - Mauro Camoranesi, AEK Larnaca

Omonoia's representative at the Cyprus Football Association, and member of the CFA Executive Committee and Board of Directors, Dimitris Grigoris, has announced in a lengthy post that he is resigning from the committee responsible for refereeing matters, explaining the reasons behind his decision. His full post: RESIGNATION FROM THE COMMITTEE FOR REFEREEING MATTERS I am resigning from the CFA Executive Committee’s committee responsible for refereeing matters. I first informed the President of the CFA. Now I am informing the football community. I also want to explain publicly why, clearly and without insinuations. My decision has nothing to do with one match, one incident, one referee or any particular club. It is an institutional decision, and I speak only for myself. This is not something that came to me suddenly. For months, I have been raising the same issues, both in writing and verbally, within the Committee and directly with the CFA President. I asked for changes to be made. I repeated my concerns. Nothing changed. A Committee that is not informed, does not discuss matters and does not exercise oversight is not a Committee. It is a façade. And I am not saying this vaguely. As Chairman of the Committee, Foivos Vakis effectively held the central role, and its operation had largely become a one-man show. Serious matters moved forward without our involvement, and we would find out afterwards — if we found out at all. I refuse to bear responsibility for decisions in which I had no say. And in refereeing, this matters twice as much. Referees must be judged according to rules. Not by one individual. I am not saying that anyone gives instructions to referees; I am saying that the system itself should not leave room even for such suspicions. And when we talk about refereeing, we do not mean only the referee with the whistle. We mean the assistant referees, VAR officials, fourth officials and referee observers, as well as those who make the appointments, those who assess officials, those who train them and those who ultimately make the decisions. This is where the Federation has been failing for years. The same problems return every year, yet the same people remain in the key positions, the same mechanisms remain in place, and the same mentalities persist. Behind the scenes, the strings continue to be pulled by people who have occupied the same positions for years, without anyone genuinely holding them accountable. I will not name names. Those within football know very well who they are. You cannot expect a different future from the same system and the same people who brought us to this point. You cannot ask those who built or maintained a failed model to suddenly become the ones who provide the solution. You do not change refereeing simply by changing the person at the top while leaving the same system underneath intact. There are no positions for life in refereeing. Not for referees. Not for observers. Not for those who assess and manage them. Because scrutiny cannot stop with the referees. The observers must also be scrutinised; their reports are not gospel. If an observer fails to identify a serious mistake, or unfairly assesses a referee, their own work must also be reviewed. Who scrutinises those doing the scrutinising? Who selected them? Who trained them? Who assessed them? Who is held accountable when the same system produces the same problems year after year? The same applies to consequences. Mistakes will always happen, but impunity should not. In serious, repeated cases, leaving someone out for one or two matches and then bringing them back as though nothing happened sends no message whatsoever. Because the problem with Cypriot refereeing is not only the mistake itself. It is also what happens after the mistake. We spend money, bring in foreign experts, change the people at the top, and yet at the end of every year we find ourselves discussing the same issues all over again. At some point, therefore, the mirror must be held not only up to the referees, but also to those who run the system. The Committee needs to be reconstituted from the ground up: with genuine authority, decisions made collectively, independent oversight and an assessment system that applies to everyone, not just those at the very bottom of the hierarchy. But I also have a principle, and I stand by it. When you reach the point where you can no longer contribute somewhere, you do not stay for the title or for the position. You get up and leave. I did the same in futsal when I was Chairman of the Committee. I believe that during the few months I was there, things were accomplished that had failed to move forward for years. And as soon as I realised that there were people and attitudes working against the very effort we were making, people who did not want the sport to grow, I resigned. I did not stay for the position then. I will not stay for it now either. I am not resigning from responsibility. I am resigning from a role that, given the way it currently operates, no longer has any real substance. As a member of the CFA Executive Committee, I will formally bring all of these issues before it. I am not accusing anyone without evidence. But neither will I pretend that I do not see what is happening. If anyone at the CFA believes that anything I have said is untrue, then let us discuss it publicly. With evidence. Not behind closed doors. My silence would mean that I accept all of this. And I will not. Dimitris Grigori Member of the CFA Executive Committee & Board of Directors
