The Cyprus men’s national football team faces a demanding schedule in the 2nd group of League C in the UEFA Nations League, with four matches set to take place over an eleven-day period. Under the guidance of head coach Akis Mantzios, the team will play two away matches against Montenegro on September 25 at 21:45 and Latvia on September 28 at 19:00.

Preparation for these fixtures is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 21, with the team looking to maximize their performance to improve their standing in the group.
