Kingsley Sarfo to miss Europa Conference League over travel ban to Sweden

Due to a travel restriction, Ghanaian midfielder Kingsley Sarfo won’t be traveling with his Apoel Nicosia colleagues for the Europa Conference League match against Djurgaden.

The former IK Sirius star has been banned from travelling to Sweden for ten year following his conviction in a rape case during his time at Malmo.

The Apoel Nicosia midfielder was jailed for two years and eight months after he was accused of raping a minor.

 

However, after years of back and forth with the law, the Ghana international was set free and has bounced back to playing football.

He spent the last few years in Cyprus where he has been one of the starts in the Cypriot League.

Apoel will face Djugarden in the first leg of their Europa Conference League on Thursday, August 18, without the Ghanaian.

But Sarfo will be available for the second leg in Nicosia, where he reunites with former trainers Kim Bergstrand and Thomas Lagerlöf.

“There is no difference to facing others, it’s more that you know a little more about a player in the opposing team in that case… but now we go ahead of the events, we will focus on the match tomorrow,” Lagerlöf told World Football Channel.
