The friendly match between Cyprus and Serbia is scheduled for Monday, March 25 at 19:00 at the AEK-Georgios Karapatakis Arena in Larnaca and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 3 and Prima Sport 3.
Cyprus, who have never reached the finals of a European or world tournament in their history, and Serbia, one of the future participants of Euro 2024, meet for the sixth time in a friendly match (two teams that have never met in an official match).
Cyprus, one of the continent’s weakest teams, failed to qualify for the European Championship after finishing 5th last in Group A, which also included Spain, Scotland, Norway and Georgia, losing all eight games they played (difference 3-25). )!
Since the end of the qualifying tournament for Euro 2024, the national team under the leadership of the former great player of the Georgian national team Temur Ketsbai played two preparatory matches, both on the home field: 1:0 with Lithuania on November 23, 2023 and 1:1 with Latvia on March 21, 2024 (Cyprus has been successful in the last 11 friendly or official matches).
Before their Nations League debut in September, Cyprus will play two friendlies, both away to Moldova (June 8) and San Marino (June 11).
Serbia qualified for Euro 2024 by finishing second in Group G, behind Hungary but ahead of Montenegro, Lithuania and Bulgaria, in which they won four, drew two and lost two.
In the highly controversial first friendly of the year on March 21, the national team led by former Yugoslav great Dragan Stojkovic suffered a crushing 0-4 loss to Russia (Serbia have just one win in their last five friendlies or official parties).
Before debuting at the final tournament in Germany, Serbia will play two more practice matches away from home against Austria (June 4) and Sweden (June 8).
Serbia was the first in its history to qualify for the European Championship after the breakup of Yugoslavia (the “blues” played in two European Championship finals, in 1960 and 1968).
The last time these two teams met was on 25 May 2016, when Serbia won 2-1 at home to Cyprus (now in five straight matches, all friendlies, four wins and a draw).
