"Turkish Cypriot football team could make historic return
By John Leonidou
A TURKISH CYPRIOT football team could be competing against Greek Cypriot teams for the first time in almost 40 years.
According to Turkish Cypriot newspaper Hurriyet, Louroudjina based football club Akincilar are planning to request permission to join the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) after playing the last four decades in the non-recognised Turkish Cypriot leagues.
Despite not wanting to comment on the matter, Akincilar chairman Emin Ozyalcin did tell the Cyprus Mail that he would be having a news conference at lunchtime today.
Reports from the north say the football club will announce tomorrow that they will be making an official request to join the CFA."
