APOEL defeats Omonia in futsal derby

On October 22, 2026, the third round of the Cypriot futsal championship featured a high-profile "eternal derby" between Omonia and APOEL at the Tassos Papadopoulos-Eleftheria arena. Despite an early lead by Omonia, who scored two goals through Skampilis and Savva, the defending champions APOEL staged a remarkable comeback to secure a 3-2 victory.

The turnaround was led by Platis, who reduced the deficit, followed by an equalizer from El Kembe and a decisive winning goal by Dimitriou. The match was part of an extensive round schedule that also included other fixtures, such as AEL versus AEK, which was played behind closed doors due to sanctions carried over from the previous season, and the match between Enosi Neon Latsion and Apollon.

The championship continues with further matches on October 23, featuring Elpida Astromeriti against Ararat and Athainou AC against Doxa Paliometochou. Both of these final matches of the third round are scheduled to begin at 20:30.
