National Faces Challenges, Seeks Revival in 2026

Ethnikos is facing difficulties at the start of 2026, being on a seven-game losing streak that has affected its performance. The team is trying to end this negative streak and bounce back. A significant change is the hiring of Portuguese coach Rui Ferreira, who will make his debut in the match against AEL. Furthermore, the team was strengthened with two new strikers, Spaniard Xavi Siviero and Greek Christos Youssas, after the departure of Andriy Kravchuk. The match against AEL is important for the team, with Ofory returning to the squad, but with absences due to cards and injuries.
