December 25, 2025
Airsoft is gaining popularity in Cyprus, evolving from a limited hobby to an organized activity with a growing presence. There is currently no legislative framework governing the activity, creating uncertainty for participants. Airsoft is based on strategy and teamwork, using specially designed replicas that fire low-power plastic pellets. The Cyprus Airsoft Association was established to promote airsoft responsibly and safely. The pandemic has increased interest in the sport, with player numbers rising by 70% in Cyprus.
