What happens when football, politics, money, power, ambition and complete chaos collide on a small island in the Mediterranean?
The Book of Mappa is the definitive account of the 2025/26 Cyprus football season, an extraordinary campaign that delivered title races, cup finals, financial crises, boardroom battles, investor takeovers, transfer sagas, disciplinary controversies and enough drama to make most soap operas look underwritten.
Spanning more than 830 pages, this season-long chronicle follows the stories that shaped Cypriot football both on and off the pitch. From championship celebrations and European ambitions to debt, governance disputes, ownership struggles and controversial decisions that left supporters wondering whether the rulebook had been replaced by a lucky dip, The Book of Mappa explores every corner of one of Europe's most unique football environments.
Featuring clubs including Omonoia, APOEL, Pafos, Aris, AEK Larnaca, Apollon and Anorthosis, the book examines the personalities, power struggles and pivotal moments that defined the season. Along the way it delves into allegations of corruption, match-fixing controversies, financial uncertainty, political interference, disciplinary disputes and some truly jaw-dropping rulings from the Sports Judge that somehow managed to unite rival supporters in collective disbelief.
The book also explores one of the darkest chapters in Cypriot football history, examining the assassination of a club president and the wider questions it raised about the sport, its governance and the forces operating around it.
Combined with extensive reporting, analysis, interviews and commentary, it paints a picture of a football landscape where the stories beyond the touchline are often every bit as compelling as those on it.
Part football season review, part investigative journalism, part business case study and part satire, The Book of Mappa is an unfiltered look at modern football in Cyprus. It is a story of triumph and failure, vision and mismanagement, hope and frustration, where every solution seems to create two new problems and every quiet week is usually followed by a public statement, an emergency meeting or a social media meltdown.
Whether you are a supporter of Cypriot football, a fan of European football, interested in football finance, governance and ownership, or simply enjoy reading stories that seem too absurd to be true, The Book of Mappa offers a unique and entertaining journey through a season that repeatedly blurred the line between sport and theatre.
The complete 830+ page digital edition is available to download in PDF format through our Patreon for £15.
Some football leagues produce champions.
Cyprus football produced enough material for a satire. The fact none of it had to be invented is perhaps the most worrying part.

The whole Konate situation has been handled really badly, new contracts for Grav and Gakpo of course he will want parity or close. For the club if they knew he wouldn't sign they should've sold him last summer, still amazes as a club how they let players run down their deals.
