Omonia holds first friendly in Poland amid roster changes
Omonia Nicosia is set to play its first pre-season friendly against Dinamo Bucharest in Kielce, Poland, on July 1, 2026. Coach Henning Berg is utilizing this match as a preliminary conditioning session after ten days of training. The squad faces significant adjustments, as star forward Ryan Mmaee is departing for the Mexican club Atlas in a transfer deal reported to be worth approximately 3 million euros. Furthermore, Polish midfielder Mateusz Musialowski has been excluded from the pre-season camp and is effectively no longer part of the manager's plans. Other players, including Jayden Montnor and Andronikos Kakoullis, remain under evaluation, while international players who recently joined the group are expected to play in the upcoming match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Sunday. The team is also preparing for the second qualifying round of the Champions League, scheduled for July 22, against the winner of the Kairat-Sutjeska tie. President Stavros Papastavrou is working with management to finalize new signings to address existing gaps in the squad.
