Starting from Tuesday, teams coming to play European games in Cyprus will have to submit a list containing the names of all passengers travelling on their flight, including players, coaches and other members of the staff, to the relevant authorities

Moreover, everyone on the flight will have to present a negative PCR test on arrival to the island.
