APOEL and Omonia face off in final league derby
APOEL and Omonia will meet today, May 16, 2026, at 18:00 at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia for the final derby of the season. The match will be held behind closed doors and holds no competitive stakes for either team. APOEL faces severe squad issues with numerous absences including Belec, Christodoulou, Pereira, Diamantakos, and others due to injury or suspension, likely leading to the debut of 19-year-old goalkeeper Michos. Concurrently, APOEL management is engaged in financial negotiations with businessman Savvas Liashis to resolve economic difficulties. Conversely, champion Omonia, led by Henning Berg, is aiming for two remaining wins to set a new points record. Omonia has excluded Willy Semedo from the squad for rest ahead of the upcoming World Cup, while Panagiotou remains sidelined with an injury. Omonia has also qualified for the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League and is currently preparing for its European campaign.
