Apollon Limassol prepares for Conference League opener against Dila Gori
Apollon Limassol is set to return to European competition today, July 23, 2026, after a three-year hiatus. The team will face Dila Gori in Georgia at the Tengiz Burjanadze Stadium at 19:00 for the first leg of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, a match that will be broadcast on Cytavision4. The squad, led by manager Hernan Losada, has finalized its preparations in Georgia following their arrival earlier this week.
The challenge for the Cypriot team is significant, as Dila Gori currently maintains a competitive edge with 19 matches already played in the Georgian league, where they sit in 6th place with 26 points. In contrast, this match marks the official season opener for Apollon. Manager Losada aims to secure a favorable result to gain an advantage for the historic return leg, which will be the first European game hosted at the Alphamega Stadium in Limassol.
While the roster remains under development with ongoing transfer activity, the team is focused on setting the foundation for progression into the third qualifying round. The match represents a crucial step for the club's European campaign this season.
