Cyprus Referees Association:  The Cypriot football referees declared an indefinite strike after arsonists set on fire a car belonging to the mother of a referee earlier in the day, the Cyprus Referees Association (CRA) said in a statement.

Following this development, the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) suspended soccer fixtures, starting with a game which was scheduled for Monday night.

Cyprus's football has been plagued for several years by actions against referees, including numerous bomb attacks and other actions against the properties of individual referees and the premises of their Association in June last year.
