Omonia set for Europa League playoff draw against Sint-Truiden
Omonia Nicosia has been drawn to face the Belgian side Sint-Truiden in the Europa League playoff round, provided the Cypriot team successfully advances past Lincoln in the preceding qualifying stage. Founded in 1924, Sint-Truiden is based in Belgium and plays at the 14,600-capacity Stayen Stadion. Known as "the Canaries" for their yellow and blue colors, the club has spent much of its recent history in the top division after previously securing three second-division titles. Notably, the team returns to European competition for the first time since 2003, when they participated in the now-defunct Intertoto Cup.
The Belgian club is currently managed by 44-year-old Frédéric De Meyer. According to data from Transfermarkt, the squad holds a total market valuation of 27.7 million euros. While the club lacks an extensive trophy cabinet, holding only three second-tier championships and one League Cup, they have undergone significant restructuring since 2017. Omonia must focus on their current tie against Lincoln to secure this upcoming fixture, which marks a significant return to the continental stage for the Belgian side after a 23-year absence.
