May 13, 2025

The Cyprus Automobile Association plans to hold the Finikoudes Larnaca Rally 2025 without the necessary permits, leading to strong reactions from the Cyprus Automobile Federation and other authorities. Despite the Association's assurances of compliance, officials maintain that only the Federation has the authority to organize such events. The Department of Environment has expressed a negative stance on the event's licensing, emphasizing the need to protect Natura 2000 areas. The Association encourages interested participants to join, despite the concerns raised by the relevant authorities.
