With the distinction through the championship having been lost, APOEL is now pinning its hopes for a return to European competition through the cup. In addition to the financial campaign that continues, with the amount collected now exceeding 400,000 euros, all the weight falls on the double matches with Apollon (April 22 and 29) for the semi-finals of the competition.
But before the first match against the blue team, the team from Nicosia will play with compatriot Omonia, who are leading and are close to the title. For APOEL, possible success does not say much, in terms of the presence in the first class institution, but every victory against the “eternal” rival counts towards prestige and gives psychological points in view of the most important goal.
*On Wednesday (16/04) the management of the blue and yellow team had the first meeting with the team’s fans, which took place at the building of the Kokkinotrimithia Union. As APOEL informed yesterday, a replica ball from the 1930s was given as a commemorative gift, which bears the signatures of the football players who attended the event and the inscription “APOEL IS US”. The next meeting will be on Thursday, April 23, at Shooters Bar/Game Lounge.
