Marked for Pedro Ataíde

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Age has not caught Pieros Sotiriou yet — 7.87

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.87 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Christodoulos Thoma says APOEL went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A falling-out at APOEL

Wes Foderingham and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad19 Oct 2026

The step up is real for Pedro Ataíde

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match17 Oct 2026

Pieros Sotiriou sends APOEL past Ypsonas

It finished 2‑0, and it was Pieros Sotiriou’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to APOEL.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Marios Merkis, on a 2‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Konstantinos Poursaitidis gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Ángel García knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ángel García trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market19 Oct 2026

The Max Meyer question follows APOEL around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Max Meyer’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match12 Sep 2026

Pedro Ataíde wins it after the whistle should have gone

91 minutes played. Pedro Ataíde found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Omonoia Aradippou went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Market14 Sep 2026

Pieros Sotiriou hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what APOEL can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Pedro Ataíde scores twice — 8.30

Two goals and a mark of 8.30 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market14 Sep 2026

Pedro Ataíde turns Anorthosis down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market14 Sep 2026

Panagiotis Kattirtzis has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around APOEL they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Daniel Mancini runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match12 Sep 2026

APOEL find a way past Omonoia Aradippou

Omonoia Aradippou made APOEL work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Pedro Ataíde

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Marios Merkis has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Marios Merkis on a 2‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Market24 Aug 2026

ASIL Lysi come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and APOEL did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

Pedro Ataíde puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at APOEL, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Wes Foderingham

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. APOEL have done the hard part with Aris, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

No deal for Stefan Simić at that price

APOEL offered $510.0K; Omonoia said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Gabriel Vidović

APOEL asked and Dinamo Zagreb said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market24 Aug 2026

Gabriel Pereira attracts admirers

The name of Gabriel Pereira has come up in conversations APOEL were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Fernando Viana in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at APOEL this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

A loan move for Luka Stojković is in the works

APOEL have made the call to Dinamo Zagreb. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Christodoulos Thoma is a square peg at APOEL

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market17 Aug 2026

APOEL say no — this time

The offer from Nea Salamis for Pedro Ataíde was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

APOEL make their move for Stefan Simić

$510.0K on the table at Omonoia. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at APOEL

Bruno Wilson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Gimnasia La Plata tell APOEL: Ivo Mammini is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad17 Aug 2026

APOEL lose Ángel García

36 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market17 Aug 2026

APOEL and Bruno Wilson are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

APOEL try to borrow Gabriel Vidović

Dinamo Zagreb have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Market17 Aug 2026

Pedro Ataíde told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Pedro Ataíde has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at APOEL.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A season on the outside for Oliver Zelenika

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at APOEL has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.
