We received great news last 14th December from the Cypriot Government. Cyprus will be ready to host training camps starting mid January.
The Cyprus Government has prepared an updated protocol for travel and tourism, which comes into effect in early 2021. The two main change are as follows:
Firstly, it includes a list of 56 countries which are given relaxations for travel to Cyprus:
EU member states, European Economic Area states (Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Lichtenstein), third countries featured on the temporary restriction of non-essential travel into the EU and the possible lifting of such restriction), United Kingdom, Russia, Israel, Ukraine, Belarus, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Secondly, it includes a new categorization system, which is harmonized in accordance to ECDC standards.
All of the above comes into effect on 15th January, which marks the beginning of a transitional period extending up to and including February 28th. During this period, countries will be categorized as either green, orange, red or grey. They will move between categories based on their epidemiological state, and their evaluation will continue to be done exclusively by the Cyprus government.
From 1st March 2021 onwards, the 56 countries mentioned above will be exempt from category grey, and will thus only move between categories green, orange and red.
Please discover the complete rules below.

Ural's preparation for the second part of the season starts on January 17th. On this day, with our company Authentic.Football, the team will fly to the UAE, where they will hold their first training camp. Players will live and train in the city of Sharjah. Compared to its southern neighbour Dubai, Sharjah is considered a more conservative place and cultural capital of the country. Ural will stay here until January 30, and during this time they will play three friendly matches.
Stay tuned for the latest news. We wish the team a successful training camp!
