Omonia prepares for Europa League clash against NEC Nijmegen

Omonia Nicosia has traveled to the Netherlands for its fourth match in the Europa League League Phase against NEC Nijmegen, scheduled for November 5, 2026, at 19:45. The team arrived on November 4, following a departure from Larnaca airport and a transfer from Weeze airport in Germany. Head coach Henning Berg led the delegation, which includes 21 players. Notably, Jure Balkovec will miss the match due to an ongoing injury and is currently following a rehabilitation program, while Duvern has been included in the traveling squad.

NEC Nijmegen, currently sitting 13th in the Dutch league, has struggled recently with a winless streak dating back to August 29, though they secured a notable 4-2 European victory against Dinamo Zagreb. Omonia, having previously defeated Celje 3-0 in their only away game of this competition, aims to break a negative record of losing all three of their previous visits to Dutch soil. Following the match, the Omonia delegation is scheduled to return to Cyprus on November 6, arriving in Larnaca at 21:35.
