Omonia Nicosia departed for Belgium on August 18, 2026, ahead of the first leg of the UEFA Europa League playoffs against Sint-Truiden (STVV). The match is scheduled for August 20 at 21:00 local time at the Stayen stadium. The team, led by coach Henning Berg, aims to secure a favorable result to gain a tactical advantage before the return leg at the GSP Stadium.

The squad traveling to Belgium consists of 23 players, including new signings Jean-Kévin Duverne and Lubomír Šatka. Notable absences from the roster include Moses Odubajo, who remains excluded, and Michali Mayambela, who stayed behind in Cyprus as a precaution due to muscle discomfort; his condition is being monitored daily. Approximately 150 Omonia fans are expected to support the team at the stadium.

Following their arrival in Liège, the team is set to hold a press conference and a training session on August 19. After the match on Thursday, the delegation will depart from Belgium in the early hours of August 21, arriving back in Larnaca at 06:40.
