Insufficient funding for tackling violence in sports venues

January 18, 2025

The budget of the Cyprus Sports Organization allocates €500,000 for the installation of cameras in two closed stadiums, but only 13 words in the budget address violence in sports venues. Operating expenses are continuously rising, reaching €25 million in 2025. Additionally, the state subsidy for the current year amounts to €52,658,000. Funding for football stadiums remains inadequate.
