Tax Obligations of Football Clubs in Cyprus

August 24, 2025

The football clubs APOEL, Apollon, Anorthosis, and Ethnikos Achnas are under scrutiny by the Tax Department to comply with their tax obligations. Following a deadline from the state, they have been readmitted into a debt repayment plan. The tax inspector warns that legal actions will be taken if they fail to meet their commitments. Their total debts amount to €19.8 million, which constitutes over 50% of the sector's total tax liabilities. The plan aims for full repayment by 2037.
