The Cyprus Football Association (CFA) announced on Thursday its members will hold elections for a new chairman on June 24.
The elections are being held to fill the post of CFA chairman after the recent resignation of Giorgos Koumas.
Earlier this month Koumas said he was stepping down in order to ‘protect’ the sport.
Koumas quit well ahead of completing his second term as CFA boss. His second consecutive term would have expired in 2027.
The former CFA boss is the subject of a criminal investigation.
In late 2023 the attorney-general had ordered an independent criminal investigator to carry out a probe into suspicious activities by CFA officials – primarily Koumas.
This was on the back of a report done by the sports ethics committee, which had determined that Koumas had a “competing interest”.
The ethics committee had investigated suspected manipulation of sports events as well as other suspected offences.
