APOEL Nicosia to celebrate centennial anniversary against Aris Limassol
APOEL Nicosia is preparing for a landmark event as the club celebrates its 100th anniversary with a home match against Aris Limassol. The game, part of the ninth round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan, will take place at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia on Sunday, November 8, at 19:00. The match carries significant historical weight, and local interest is high, with tickets for the South, West, and East stands already sold out. Due to overwhelming demand, the club has opened sections of the North stand to accommodate more supporters.
From a technical perspective, APOEL coach Nikos Papadopoulos faces a roster adjustment due to the suspension of defender Joan Sastre. Players like Angelopoulos and Pedroso have returned to full fitness, providing the squad with depth for this high-stakes fixture. Forward Pieros Sotiriou, currently recovering from injury, may potentially be included in the squad for the anniversary event. The team is currently in sixth place with 14 points, while fourth-placed Aris holds 15 points, making the match a vital opportunity for APOEL to climb the table. Following the game, the club has scheduled extensive commemorative festivities for its fans.
