President Nicos Anastasiades stressed on Sunday the need to adopt new measures in order to fight football violence, following the incident yesterday during the AEL-APOEL game in Limassol for the championship title.
The game was suspended by the referee just six minutes into the second half when firecrackers injured APOEL`s Brazilian defender Kaka.
The score was still at a nail-biting 0-0.
Cyprus Football Association will have to decide whether the game will be awarded to either of the two teams or if the game will be continue from suspension time.
Invited to comment on the incident, President Anastasiades said that the proposals soon to be put forward by the government on football violence, now become more essential than ever, ahead of the new championship season.
