Olympiacos Piraeus is set to play a friendly match against Royal Antwerp at the Bosuil Stadium on July 24, 2026, as part of its ongoing preparation for the upcoming official season. This will be the fifth friendly for the Greek side, following matches against Rakow, Leuven, Fortuna Sittard, and Ajax. Coach Jose Luis Mendilibar aims to assess the team's form before their official qualifier against Nijmegen on August 4, 2026, at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. The team recently suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ajax in a rigorous test, which also featured the debuts of Balsa Popovic and Joel Roca.

Separately, Olympiacos Nicosia is also conducting its pre-season schedule, following a 0-3 loss to APOEL. Under coach Giorgos Kostis, the team used the match to evaluate its roster and test various formations, with several players receiving playing time. Key squad members like Kunde and Frantzis were kept out as a precaution. The team is currently seeking reinforcements in attacking positions to bolster its depth. Olympiacos Nicosia's next friendly match is scheduled for tomorrow against AEL at their training center, which will be held behind closed doors.
