On July 23, 2026, Apollon Limassol plays against Dila Gori at the Tengiz Burjanadze Stadium in Georgia for the first leg of the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round. Kick-off is set for 19:00, with the Cypriot side aiming to secure an advantage before the return match in Limassol.

Manager Hernan Losada selected his starting eleven, featuring goalkeeper Kuhn, and a defensive line comprising Gaspar, Konomis, Kvida, and Malekkidis. The midfield includes Brown, Ljubic, and Weisbeck, while the attack is led by Andreou, Tomas, and Escriche. This marks Apollon's return to European competition after a three-year absence. Although Apollon is considered the favorite, Losada emphasized the difficulty of the match, noting that his team has prepared for four weeks and must stay focused to avoid early-season pitfalls against a rhythm-advantaged opponent.
