Omonia faces Lincoln Red Imps in crucial Europa League qualifier

Omonia Nicosia prepares to host Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps on August 13, 2026, at the GSP Stadium for the second leg of the Europa League third qualifying round. Following a draw in the first leg, the Cypriot champions aim to secure a victory to advance to the playoff stage. This qualification is considered vital, as it would guarantee Omonia a spot in the UEFA Conference League phase, securing at least 3.17 million euros, with potential for further earnings depending on performance and market shares.

Manager Henning Berg welcomes back key players Kakoullis, Coulibaly, and Nego, who missed the previous match due to suspensions, while Odubajo remains sidelined. Berg has emphasized the need for better efficiency in the attacking third after a lacklustre performance in Gibraltar. The club, which recently bolstered its squad with signings including Lubomir Satka and Duvern, is focusing on squad morale and intensity to ensure a successful outcome and continue their European campaign.
