OMONOIA LEARN DRAW FATE

Omonoia have learned their fate for the next two qualifying rounds in their campaign to qualify for the UEFA Conference League for the 2024-2025 season. Omonoia will face Georgian side Torpedo Kutaisi, starting with a home date at the Stadio GSP on Thursday, with the return leg coming on the 1^st of August in Georgia. Torpedo, like Omonoia finished third in their domestic league last season, they edged Albanian side Tirana in a tight 2-1 aggregate in the first qualifying round, from which Omonoia were exempt.

Omonoia aren’t in the best of form, having performed poorly in their preseason friendlies, all losses with the exception of a 1-1 home draw against AEK Athens. Omonoia have faced Georgian opposition only once before in European competition. On that occasion, Omonoia were able to get past Dinamo Batumi in the first round of UEFA Europa League qualifiers for the 2015-2016 season, 2-1 on aggregate.

Should Omonoia advance past Torpedo, they would get either Sumgayit from Azerbaijan, or Hungarian side Fehervar in the third qualifying round.
