Pafos FC and Apollon Limassol to face in Cyprus Cup final
Apollon Limassol has qualified for the Cyprus Cup final following their performance against APOEL, where they maintained their advantage from the first leg. They are set to face Pafos FC in the final, which is tentatively scheduled for May 28 or 29, 2026, at the GSP Stadium. Pafos FC previously secured their own youth success by winning the U-19 Cup for the third consecutive year after a penalty shootout against Olympiakos. Meanwhile, APOEL is facing significant financial and administrative challenges, including a transfer embargo due to debts owed to El Arabi and the likely departure of coach Pablo Garcia. Anorthosis and AEL have also published their 2025 financial reports, highlighting ongoing austerity measures and significant debt management efforts. Separately, the Cyprus League continues with various domestic fixtures scheduled for early May. While Apollon remains focused on a trophy, APOEL's current league performance leaves their European qualification hopes mathematically narrow.
