The APOEL football team has arrived in the Netherlands for the primary stage of its summer pre-season training camp. As of July 27, 2026, the squad has begun preparations, with the management team, led by coach Nikos Papadopoulos, focusing on fitness, tactical implementation, and player conditioning ahead of the upcoming season.

To mark this phase, APOEL is scheduled to play a friendly match against Al-Fayha. Coach Papadopoulos intends to distribute playing time among the available roster, prioritizing the evaluation of player performance under pressure and the integration of new training strategies. This follows previous pre-season activities, including an earlier friendly match against Olympiacos at the Archangelos training center. The current stage is viewed as a critical opportunity to assess the team's readiness and tactical discipline before the official competitive season commences.
