A case of hooliganism, illegal entry into a sports venue, assault with actual bodily harm, and obstructing the smooth conduct of the match is being investigated by Paphos CID, according to Paphos CID Press Spokesman and Head of Paphos CID Michael Nicolaou.
Mr. Nicolaou said that on Saturday a match for the championship 2nd category between Akrita Chlorakas and Omonia was scheduled at the "Stelios Kyriakides" Stadium in Paphos.
At one point, fans of Omonia refused to present the safe pass and as a result they were denied entry, while several fans gathered at the entrance of the stadium, who started protesting and shouting,
he added.
According to the Paphos Police Directorate Press Officer, at the time members of the Paphos Police Directorate tried to remove them,
other fans who were inside the stand allegedly attacked the supervisors, unlocked and opened the entrance resulting in around 30 fans entering the area without any control.
Also a supervisor was beaten who has suffered actual physical damage.
He added that because of these events the game was delayed to start around 15 minutes .
He pointed out that a warrant of arrest has been issued for the case against a 46-year-old who is wanted and that investigations are ongoing.
