New Regulations for the Operation of Fan Associations
March 1, 2025
The new bill reformulates the operation of fan associations, which will be registered as clubs and placed under the responsibility of first-division clubs. The Minister of Justice announced penalties and control processes, as well as civil liability for violent acts committed by association members. The changes aim to reduce violence in stadiums, with penalties for clubs that do not comply. Associations will require mandatory recognition and registration with the Cyprus Sports Organization.
