February 24, 2025
This weekend saw Omonia Youth FC teams deliver performances filled with determination, skill, and plenty of excitement. From thrilling last-minute goals to dominant displays, the club’s young talents continued to grow and showcase their hard work. Whether securing victories or learning valuable lessons, every match contributed to the players’ development.
U9 Silver
Today’s focus was teamwork and using the width of the pitch, and the team executed this brilliantly. They worked tirelessly in attack, delivering crisp passes and dangerous crosses into the box. Despite being caught out in defence at times, they showed great character, quickly regaining their composure and continuing to play with confidence.
Coaches: Kyri Karaiskakis, Paolo Di Bernado, Becky Nyman.

U14 Green
Score: 3-4 win
Another game where the Greens had to fight back after conceding two early goals, but once they settled, their passing and attacking play brought them level. A setback came when they conceded again, but their relentless attitude kept them in the contest.
After equalising once more, the Greens had a golden chance to win it with a late penalty, only to see the opposing goalkeeper pull off a fantastic save. However, they refused to give up, and with the very last kick of the game, they found the winner in dramatic fashion. A fantastic display of perseverance, and the team is now climbing the table in the Red Division.
Coaches: Jack Markou, Manos Hadjimanolis.
Omonia Youth FC U10 Silver team
U13 Silver
Score: 0-2 loss | Cup Game | PotM: Michael
A challenging result in a tightly contested cup match. The first half saw Omonia create openings while defending resolutely, going into the break at 0-0. The halftime message was to stay composed in possession and use width effectively.
The second half mirrored the first, with both teams battling hard. Defenders Shay and Kristian put in crucial tackles to keep the game level, but the deadlock was broken by a moment of individual brilliance from the opposition. Pushing forward for an equaliser, Omonia were caught on the break, conceding a second late on. A tough defeat, but a performance full of effort and commitment.
Coaches: George Sammoutis, Mitul Kataria.
U10 Silver
With just seven players available, the Silvers had to dig deep, and they did so superbly. Despite a few knocks along the way, they pushed through to deliver a commanding performance and a well-earned victory.
The standout element was their passing, which was the sharpest it has been all season—something to build on in upcoming matches. A stunning long-range strike into the top corner and a hat-trick from one player were the key moments in a strong team display.
Coaches: Mark Smith, Pete Lambrou, Angelo Loizou.

U14 White
Score: 0-8 win | Players of the Match: Adrian & Theo
This league fixture was an opportunity to put into practice recent training themes: passing, defensive shape, and spatial awareness. After a slow start, the team found their rhythm and dominated, heading into halftime 4-0 up. Theo and Abel were instrumental, combining for goals and assists, while debutant Zac made an instant impact, scoring with his first touch.
The second half saw strategic player rotations, with Chris netting twice and Victor scoring his first of the season. Defender Adam rounded off the scoring with a trademark long-range strike, securing the second consecutive clean sheet.
Joint Player of the Match went to Adrian, who adapted brilliantly to an attacking left-back role, and Theo, whose link-up play and vision were instrumental in creating attacking opportunities.
Coaches: George Agrotis, Mark Hodges.

A special mention to Christopher, who tracked back tirelessly and was deservedly named Player of the Match.
