Paphos: League opener with the sole goal of earning three points

He's leaving Europe and focusing on the league

ALPHANEWSLIVE

Paphos makes its first appearance in this year’s championship today, facing Karmiotissa at “Stelios Kyriakides” Stadium, with the Polemidia-based team listed as the nominal home team.

The Cypriot champions are coming off a major European success, as on Thursday they celebrated advancing to the League Phase for the third consecutive season, overcoming Dynamo City in extra time. Now, however, their European campaign is temporarily put on hold, and their focus shifts exclusively to the domestic league.

Thursday’s grueling match and the 120 minutes of play may lead Ricardo Sa Pinto to make some changes to the starting lineup, with the goal of keeping the team fresh and competitive.
