History is being made this week for Cypriot football as, for the first time, two Cypriot teams will face each other in a European competition match.

On Thursday, February 13, Omonοia will host Pafos F.C. at 22:00 at GSP Stadium in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League play-offs. The match has garnered widespread attention beyond the interest of the two teams' fans.

Overall, it is a historic week for Cypriot football, as Cyprus is the only country still represented in the Conference League with three teams.

In addition to Omonοia and Pafos F.C., APOEL will face Slovenian side Celje away, aiming to take the first step toward qualification.

It is certain that at least one Cypriot team (the winner of the Omonοia vs. Pafos F.C. clashes) will advance to the Round of 16 of the Conference League. The ideal scenario for Cypriot football would be for APOEL to also secure qualification.
