In June, the efforts of our Men's National Team continue in Bulgaria and Romania.

On June 6, Cyprus will face Bulgaria away in a friendly match, followed by an away game against Romania for the 3rd matchday of Group 8 in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Our team's record in the first two qualifying matches includes a 2-0 victory over San Marino and a 2-1 away loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The first signs under coach Apostolos Mantzios in these initial matches were encouraging, and the goal now is to maintain momentum in the upcoming games.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is the only team in our group with two wins from the first two matchdays. Cyprus and Romania have recorded one win and one loss each, while San Marino has suffered two defeats.

Austria has yet to play due to their commitments in the Nations League play-offs.
