Regarding the upcoming opponent in the second qualifying round of the Europa League, the team’s European goals, and their on-field challenges, Paphos’s communications director, Christoforos Matthaiou, made statements as the “Blue” team departed for Croatia
On Hajduk Split: “This is our first trip of the year. We have a tough task ahead of us. It’s a major challenge against Hajduk Split, but we’ve proven in the recent past that the team can hold its own against such strong opponents. We’re going to try to get a positive result and return to Cyprus with something good.”
On Europe: “Every year, as the season begins, our goal is to secure a spot in Europe. That’s a given now, but if we don’t manage to qualify for the League Phase, it’s as if we haven’t achieved anything.”
On injury concerns: “We’ll wait until tonight’s practice to assess the situation and make our decisions. As you know, Koreia is off the roster as a precaution. If tonight’s practice shows he can contribute, we’ll make the necessary changes.”
Regarding the crowd: “We have 100 tickets available for advance sale. My personal estimate is that we’ll probably have around 150 in attendance.”
