Aris Limassol continued their pre-season preparation in Poland with a dominant 5-1 victory over Israeli side Hapoel Raanana on July 22, 2026. Despite conceding an early penalty in the 7th minute, Aris responded decisively with goals from Paze, who scored twice, along with strikes from Charalambous, Junior, and Galiata. The match allowed head coach Aliaksandr Shpileuski to evaluate his squad's tactical development, particularly their ball circulation and pressing.

While sources like OmegaLive and Goal News Cy attributed the fifth goal to Efage, elemesos.com specified that Junior scored the fourth goal while the fifth was credited to Galiata, noting that the goals were distributed among four different players. The team displayed resilience and physical conditioning despite recent intensive training sessions.

Aris remains in Poland for further preparations. Their next scheduled friendly against Korona Kielce has been moved to 14:00 local time (15:00 Cyprus time) on Sunday, July 26. Following their Polish camp, the team is set to travel to Austria, where they will face Al Sadd on August 6, Union Berlin on August 9, and FC Liefering on August 13.
