- Karmiotissa Pano has been relegated from the Cypriot First Division after finishing last in the 2024-2025 season, despite the arrival of Cameroonian goalkeeper Devis Epassy
- The newly promoted club struggled throughout the campaign and failed to escape the relegation zone in the crucial Relegation Group phase
- Now facing their third demotion since 2017, Karmiotissa must rebuild in the second tier for the upcoming season
Devis Epassy’s club, Karmiotissa Pano, has been officially relegated from the Cypriot First Division following the 2024-2025 season.
The Cameroon international joined the team in August 2024 and did his best to help maintain their top-flight status. However, Karmiotissa Pano Polemidion’s campaign ended in disappointment as the newly promoted side failed to avoid relegation to the second tier.
Despite hopes of consolidation, the team struggled throughout the season and found themselves in a relegation battle. After finishing near the bottom in the regular season, they entered the Relegation Group with a tough task. Their performances there were insufficient, and finishing 6th in the group sealed their demotion, a tough blow for the club and its supporters.
Epassy’s summer arrival was seen as a key signing to strengthen the defense. Seeking regular playtime, he featured in several league matches, including crucial relegation fixtures. His experience was expected to help Karmiotissa stay up by providing stability and leadership at the back.
In the end, despite Epassy’s efforts, the team fell short of the level needed to remain in the First Division. The club now faces rebuilding in the lower league, marking their third relegation since 2017.
