"Araz-Nakhchivan"'s Rival "Omonia": History, Squad, and Matches Against Azerbaijani Clubs

"Omonia", the Cypriot club that "Araz-Nakhchivan" will face in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, is 77 years old.

According to "Report", the Nicosia representative was founded in 1948.

The team, which has been playing in the main league since 1953, has been the country's champion 21 times. "Omonia" has won the Cyprus Cup 16 times and the Super Cup 17 times. In addition, the club is one of the three Cypriot clubs that have never left the elite.

The capital representative has also set a number of records in his country. One of them is the team's championship for 14 consecutive seasons between 1970-1989. The "Green-Whites" also won the Cyprus Cup 4 times in a row (1979-1983).

The team plays its home games at the GSP stadium with a capacity of 22,859 fans. The president of the club is Stavros Papastavrou, and the current head coach is Henning Berg. "Omonia" has several famous players in its squad. Goalkeeper Fabiano, who previously played for clubs such as "Porto" of Portugal and "Fenerbahce" of Turkey, is currently working for the team's success. Stevan Jovetić from Montenegro, a former member of "Manchester City" and "Inter", was also transferred in 2024.

"Omonia" has competed against Azerbaijani clubs three times in the European Cups so far. "Qarabag" faced the Cypriot representative in the group stage of the UEFA Conference League in the 2021/2022 season. The "stallions", who beat their opponent 4:1 away, agreed to a draw in Baku - 2:2.

Then "Gabala" lost in both matches in the second qualifying round of this tournament in the 2023/2024 season - 2:3, 1:4.

Finally, last season, "Zira" faced this team. The "eagles", who conceded 6 goals in Nicosia, won with a minimal score at home - 1:0.

It should be noted that "Araz-Nakhchivan" will play its first match on August 7 in Baku, and the return match a week later away. In the previous round, Nakhchivan club eliminated "Aris" of Greece, and "Omonia" eliminated "Torpedo" of Georgia.
