Omonia prepares for Europa League play-off against Sint-Truiden

Omonia Nicosia has secured its place in the European competition league phase for the sixth time in seven years after successfully overcoming Lincoln Red Imps. Following this qualification, the team, managed by Henning Berg, is now set to face the Belgian side Sint-Truiden in the Europa League play-offs. The first leg of this crucial tie is scheduled for Thursday, August 20, at 21:00.

Sint-Truiden, a team currently valued in the transfer market, recently drew 3-3 against Cercle Brugge in the Belgian league after conceding a late own goal in the 93rd minute. Omonia is looking to strengthen its squad, with coach Berg recently welcoming new additions such as right-back Jean-Kevin Duverne and central defender Lubomir Satka. The Cypriot club aims to qualify for the main phase of the Europa League for the third time in its history, seeking to improve upon its previous fourth-place finishes in the 2020-2021 and 2022-2023 seasons. Financial incentives remain a significant motivation as the team prepares to challenge the Belgians for a spot in the group stage.
