The Ministry of Justice will consider the request for the final in the GSP – The key points for “yes”

The Ministry of Justice and Public Order -in addition to the police- will consider the request to hold the final of the Greek Cup in Nicosia, as soon as it receives it officially, as informed by KYPE.

This is expected to happen very soon, as KOP has already taken delivery letter from the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) with the request to hold the final in Cyprus.

In the KOP announcement it is stated that the federation initially responded positively to the request, noting that in order for there to be a final decision to hold the match, the Cypriot Police would have to give its consentwhich will be responsible for policing.

In this direction, the Cypriot Federation invited a representative of the EPO to attend the meetings, which will be held to discuss the measures and conditions that the police will set for final approval of the conduct of the match.

The key points for the “yes” of the police

It may have been announced by the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) that the final of the Greek Cup will be held at GSP, however pending police clearance, nothing can be taken for grantedas emphasized in her publication by Daily of Cyprus.

Getting started, the first issuewhich will occupy is the number of fans, who will be able to watch the match from the stadium. The capacity of the GSP exceeds 20 thousand, however it is a given that it cannot host so many fans in the final. yes, unconfirmed information states that the suggestion by the police will concern a four-digit number of fanswhile even fewer will be the tickets, which will be given by the two teams to fans who will travel from Greece.

From then on, it is a given that the issue of identification will also be raised in the discussion. That is, if the Cypriot Fan Card will be valid. In such a case, the way in which the fans of the two teams, who will be in the final, will issue the K.F., its duration and which personal information will be entered into the system, should be agreed upon. There is also the scenario, which wants those Cypriots who will attend the final to have a K.F, while those who travel from Greece must be registered in relevant lists of the two groups with ID or passport number.

At the same time, the whole project should take into account the fact that in addition to the increased policing before, during and after the game, it will be necessary to escort the missions of the two teams from the time they arrive in Cyprus until they leave, policing at training sessions, at the Fan Associations of the two teams and in general areas where there may be conflict.

Finally, beyond the question of cost, which will be twice as much as compared to the Cypriot gamesthe police should draw up a plan to provide policing at other Cypriot league games to be played on the same day.

In general, EPO and Cyprus Police have several issueswhich they will have to discuss, in order for the final to be held on Cypriot soil and in the GSP.
