The Mayor of the tourist town, Christos Zannettos, expresses his full support to the Board of Directors of the Ayia Napa football club. Speaking to the portal alphanews.live, he expressed the appreciation that both the team and the academies of the Ayia Napa football club will continue their smooth operation despite the unpleasant developments. Regarding the arrest of the Chairman of the Board of the team, Dimitris Masias, he stressed that the case is before justice, which will have the final say.

At the same time, Mr. Zannettos stated the determination of the local authorities to continue to support the team and the academies, as they contribute to the development of sports and contribute to the healthy employment of children and young people of the Municipality.

The Mayor of the semi-occupied town, Kyriakos Kareklas, expresses intense concern for the future of the football academies of Othello Athienou, after the latest developments in the field of football and the cutting of the relevant funds by the Cyprus Federation around 30 euros.

"We are very concerned about everything that has happened. Our team is in a very bad situation and it seems that it is not their fault, some experts put it in the crosshairs. The academies that produce "sprouts" are in danger and our youth is engaged in avoiding difficult situations. Assistance to our team has been cut off, with the result that those in charge can not cope because some circuits may have targeted our team. As a Municipality, we fully support Othello Athenou and we expect solutions to be found to normalize things. "

Mr. Kareklas underlined that he has already requested a meeting with the President of the KOP on the issue, for which there is no answer yet.
