Koroivos, the city’s old stadium, into a hub of sporting activity open to the local community rather than the relic of past decades it has become in recent years. The bodies, drawn from the city and the wider district, decided to convert the historically charged ground into a centre of activity for the public at large, instead of serving only the two schools it sits alongside. They point out that Paphos is among the districts lagging behind on sports facilities. The district has a single indoor sports hall with only basic modern facilities and no tennis courts at all, they say, while its one football pitch is in practice out of reach for people who want to exercise. With the right planning, the same bodies argue, the ground in the city centre, for decades synonymous with football in Paphos through Evagoras and APOP, could become the town’s Municipal Sports Centre. They say it could take tennis and basketball courts, a football pitch that converts into smaller pitches, an athletics track running around the perimeter, and a small cafeteria. All of this could be done without the Municipality or the state spending heavily, they say. They add that Koroivos has the advantage of sitting in the city centre, so it could serve not just the schools that use it now but large numbers of people, with the result that central Paphos would recover its old glory and buzz with life again.
