Christos Bosbotis, the deputy mayor responsible for sports in the Municipality of Pangaio, used a public post to explain a new national framework for licensing sports facilities, published in the Government Gazette on 10 July 2026. The framework sets out updated procedures municipalities must follow to bring local sports grounds and stadiums into compliance. Bosbotis said the municipality would work through the new requirements methodically to ensure Pangaio's facilities, including village football grounds, meet the updated standards without unnecessary delay.
