Cyprus under-15 national team holds regional training sessions

The Cyprus U-15 national team is currently conducting regional training sessions under the guidance of head coach Michalis Ioannou. These sessions are scheduled to take place on May 4, 5, 6, and 7, 2026, at the Parekklisia auxiliary stadium. Coach Ioannou is collaborating with federal coaches Konstantinos Makridis, Valentinos Koulountis, Michalis Markou, and Arsen Mihailovich to evaluate talent before finalizing the national roster. Players from clubs including AEL, Apollon, Aris, Karmiotissa, and Pafos FC have been called for the Limassol/Paphos group, while representatives from AEK, Anagennisi Deryneia, Anorthosis, Agia Napa, and Ethnikos Achnas form the Larnaca/Famagusta group. Separately, local sports media reports highlight that professional clubs are increasingly investing in young Cypriot talent, with players like Neophytou, Andreou, and Christou receiving significant playing time this season. The national team coaching staff is monitoring these developments as part of a wider effort to integrate promising players into the national system. The training sessions begin with a team gathering at 15:00, followed by player assembly at 15:30 and on-field training at 16:00.
