Today is Wednesday (October 7), and as usual, the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) announced the penalties imposed by the Disciplinary Committee.
Due to the suspension of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan, caused by the national teams’ commitments, the penalties pertain to leagues in lower divisions.
No severe penalties were imposed, as all sanctions consist of fines.
