What is Kerkida.net?
Kerkida.net is a Cypriot sports site. Its own contact page, retrieved on 23 September 2026, gives its address as Michail Karaoli 8, Anemomylos Building, third floor, 1095 Nicosia, a telephone number of 22396999 and separate editorial, advertising and general e-mail addresses, and states that the site is part of the Digital Tree media group.[2] That statement of group membership is the outlet's own and is reported here as such.
Unlike the general titles on this list it publishes nothing but sport: its navigation is built entirely from competitions and sports rather than from news desks.[1] The contact page separates an editorial address from an advertising address, which is the only division of function the outlet publishes.[2]
The site runs on the Drupal content system and links to accounts on four social platforms; beyond that it publishes no statement of how it is staffed or financed.[1][2]
What does Kerkida.net cover?
Its football coverage is organised by the divisions of the Cypriot league system — the A΄, B΄ and Γ΄ categories — and then by foreign competition, with sections for the Premier League, the Champions League, the Europa League and the Conference League.[1] Beyond football it carries basketball, including the NBA, the EuroLeague and the Greek league, and volleyball, futsal, tennis and Formula 1, with a separate section for women's sport.[1]
That structure — the three domestic football tiers given their own sections — is the clearest marker of what the site is for: the Cypriot league system below the top division is covered in its own right rather than as an appendix to the first division.[1]
The foreign football carried alongside it is organised by competition rather than by country, and the basketball sections are organised the same way, by the NBA, the EuroLeague and the Greek league. A current-events heading sits beside the sports sections, so the site is not exclusively a results service.[1]
How large is Kerkida.net's audience?
No audited audience figure for the site could be retrieved for this page. The recognised measurement currency in Cyprus covers television: AGB (Cyprus) Ltd states that it has produced television audience measurement data since September 1997, with first official data on 1 January 1998, from a panel of about 450 households carrying 981 people meters and covering 1,349 persons aged 4 and over against a stated universe of 699,350, and its subscriber list is made up of advertising agencies and television stations.[3] Websites are outside that panel's scope.
The site itself publishes no traffic or audience figure.[1][2] Traffic estimators are not audited measurement and no figure from one is given here. This is a limitation of the evidence available for online-only titles in this market.
Since when has Kerkida.net existed?
The site publishes no founding year, on its home page or on its contact page, and no second source giving one was retrieved for this page; none is asserted here.[1][2]
What the contact page does establish is a present-day publishing identity with a physical address in Nicosia, a landline and a named group.[2] Founded, registered and acquired are three different dates, and only a present address and group membership are documented here.
Why does Kerkida.net matter in Cyprus's sport?
Because of what it covers rather than how large it is. The Cypriot league system runs to a third division, and a site that gives the B΄ and Γ΄ categories their own sections is covering competitions that the general news titles carry only occasionally.[1]
Its documentation is correspondingly thin, and that is stated rather than filled in. The outlet publishes an address, a telephone number and a group name, and nothing about when it began, who owns the group or how many people read it.[2][1] For an online-only title in this market that is the normal state of the evidence rather than an unusual one.
On the market it publishes into, the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom's Media Pluralism Monitor for Cyprus, 2026 edition, records an overall risk score of 68 per cent and Market Plurality at 91 per cent, and states that between July 2023 and December 2025 there were “26 significant shareholding and ownership changes in radio and television, complete unknown to the public”, with authorities having “published no information whatever” about them.[4] Reporters Without Borders places Cyprus 80th of 180 in its 2026 Press Freedom Index with a score of 56.91 and indicator scores of political 42.90, economic 39.67, legal 58.37, social 54.95 and security 88.69.[5] Both bodies are quoted as published; neither says anything about this outlet in particular.
