AEL Limassol prepares for cup semifinal and league fixture

AEL Limassol is shifting its focus to the first leg of the Coca-Cola Cup semifinal against Pafos FC, scheduled for April 8, 2026, at the Alphamega Stadium. Tickets for the match have entered their second phase of sales, which is open to the general public until match day. The team enters this critical period facing a decline in form, having failed to secure a league win since February 20, 2026. Prior to the cup semifinal, AEL faces Omonia Aradippou in a league fixture, with coach Hugo Martins weighing whether to rest key players or test his starting lineup. The team will be without Zoke and Milosavljevic, who are both suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Furthermore, the squad has been weakened by the departure of Leo Natel to Ordabasy, a move that reportedly brought in over half a million euros. The club aims to use the upcoming matches as a catalyst to boost team morale and improve their attacking efficiency.
