Stones were thrown as incidents broke out on Sunday in the area of the hideout and the tomb of Eoka leader Georgios Grivas Digenis during a memorial service for him.
According to the police, fans of football teams went to the area near the hideout, located on Griva Digeni Street, and began to argue with each other, causing unrest.
During a speech being given by former national guard chief Ilias Leontari fans from Apoel and Apollon clashed.
Stone-throwing ensued, and the police intervened to impose order.
However the two groups of fans moved into the side streets where the fighting continued although a heavy police presence was seen.
The Eoka Fighters’ Associations had warned of unrest at Grivas’ memorial service a few days ago.
