A high-stakes match for the Cyprus National Team!

- Fetch is the sponsor of Alpha Cyprus’s trip to Armenia
Our national team is coming off two consecutive home wins against Armenia and Latvia and is currently in second place in the group with seven points.
A draw in tonight’s match will “lock in” second place, securing a spot in the promotion playoffs to League B. Meanwhile, should they win tonight, this coming Sunday (Nov. 15 – 4:00 p.m.) at the “Alphamega Stadium,” they’ll have the chance to compete for first place in the group against Montenegro.
As for the team’s status, Kakoullis remained in Cyprus due to injury, while Pileas is also out of the lineup as he is suspended. Other than that, all the remaining players are available to Akis Mantzios.
It is worth noting that 50 Cypriots made the trip to Armenia and will be at the stadium to support our national team’s efforts. It should also be noted that the temperature is expected to be 2°C at kickoff.
Our national team’s probable starting lineup: Fabiano, Malekkides, Laifis, Panagiotou, Konomis, Andreou, Hector, Kastanos, Loizou, Edwards, Pittas
