Nea Salamina and Omonia 29M played to a 1-1 draw in a friendly football match held on August 5, 2026, at the Ammochostos-Epistrofi Stadium in Cyprus. The game served as the first home exhibition for Nea Salamina following their main pre-season training camp in Poland, providing an opportunity for head coach Angel Lopez to test new squad additions and tactical formations.

Prior to the match, Nea Salamina announced that while home fans were permitted to attend, no supporters of the visiting team were allowed in the stadium. Ticket pricing was set at 10 euros for general admission and 5 euros for students, with children under 14 granted free entry.
