Opens debate on Limassol Arena in Parliament

DIKO MP Chrysanthos Savvidis, said that the issue concerning the allocation of the funds approved for the construction of the Limassol Arena stadium in Kolossi was raised as an ex officio matter before the Education Committee.

"They were building a stadium 13.000 seats and in the end we learn that there will be less seats," he said, adding that €40 million has already been approved for the stadium and another €10 million for the road network around it

"These amounts were approved for a project that in the end seems to be different from what we had in mind," he concluded.
