Where Is Cyprus abeg? | This Is Mappa | Cyprus Football Podcast

It took just two gameweeks of the new season for Cypriot football to remember what it does best: completely lose the plot.

AEL aren’t happy. With anything, really. Losing their two main strikers to injury was bad enough. Then came a 6-0 defeat at APOEL, topped off by a red card for allegedly spitting chewing gum at an opponent. Yes. Chewing gum. Welcome back, everyone.

Over in Limassol, Apollon beat Anorthosis 3-1, although the actual football quickly became irrelevant thanks to a war of statements over a disallowed Anorthosis goal. Photos were produced. AI was mentioned. Everyone became a forensic imaging expert. It got silly.

Staying in Limassol, Omonoia hammered Aris 4-1, just to remind everyone that they are, in fact, the champions.

And because apparently that wasn’t enough for one episode, we’ve also got a deadline-day roundup, with an influx of Nigerian players dominating the final moves of the window.

Controversy, red cards, AI investigations, Nigerian arrivals and the small matter of some actual football.
