Anorthosis hosts APOEL in a high-stakes match at Antonis Papadopoulos stadium

Anorthosis Famagusta prepares to host APOEL on September 12, 2026, at 19:00, marking the club's first home game of the season at the Antonis Papadopoulos stadium. The team enters this third-round Cyprus League fixture under significant pressure, following consecutive defeats in their first two matches. Manager Nestor El Maestro aims to secure the club's first points of the campaign while emphasizing the need for defensive improvement following errors observed in the previous loss to Apollon.

Regarding the squad, Gabriel Furtado has returned to training and is expected to be available for selection, potentially starting to fill the defensive gap. However, the team will be without the injured Emil Bergstrom, who is dealing with a heel injury, and the suspended Yoel van Nieff. On the opposing side, APOEL arrives with strong momentum after a 6-0 victory over AEL, with manager Nikos Papadopoulos integrating new players like Alvaro Carrillo and Bakasetas into the match squad. The atmosphere is highly anticipated, with local supporters expected to provide a strong turnout as Anorthosis looks to leverage its home advantage.
