Nicosia, Cyprus. FC Barcelona has cancelled a two-week children’s football camp that had been scheduled to take place in the occupied north next month following a series of complaints.
The link to the planned camp has been removed from the club’s website.
Planned venue
The camp was due to be held at the Near East University campus outside Nicosia, on the road towards Kyrenia.
Interventions
Sources told the Cyprus News Agency that diplomatic and other interventions had discouraged the club from holding the event in the north.
On Tuesday, the Cyprus Football Association said its chairman, Haris Loizides, had written to his Spanish counterpart, Rafael Louzan, urging him to discourage Barcelona from organising the camp.
