“The autonomy of federations does not mean unchecked” - KΟA leases in Parliament

The Parliamentary Committee on Institutions discussed the management of the leases of the Cyprus Sports Organization (CSO) assets, following complaints of prolonged dysfunction and potential irregularities. MPs stressed that the autonomy of sports federations should not mean unchecked and called for transparency and accountability in Cypriot sports. The need for a cleanup of the sports system and effective oversight by the CSO was highlighted, as well as addressing phenomena of nepotism and cronyism. The President of the CSO stated that an investigation into the issues raised has begun.
