Omonia managed to skip the first stage of the Conference League, and will be stronger in the future for Stevan Jovetić.
And that for the beginning in the Cypriot derby in Europe - the Montenegrin captain and the green from Nicosia will play against Paphos in the playoffs of the youngest UEFA competition, it is known after today's draw.
Omonija and Borac from Banja Luka won a draw (0:0) in the last round together to continue the competition, and the club from Bosnia and Herzegovina - whose colors are defended by our Marko Vukčević - will play against Olimpija from Ljubljana.
The "Falcon" defender will thus play against the former club, whose colors he defended from 2013 to 2017.
The potential rivals of Omonia and Borc in the round of 16 are also known - if the Cypriot club advances, they will play Lugano or Đurgarden, while the people of Banja Luka could play Fiorentina or Rapid from Vienna.
Stevan Jovetić signed for Omonia at the end of September, when it was already too late to register for the group stage of the Conference League. As of January, that obstacle is no longer ahead, so the captain of the "Falcon" will have the opportunity to shine once again in the competition he won last year with Olympiakos.
At the same time, he is waiting for a duel with the leader of the Cypriot championship, whom he recently defeated with a goal in the 92nd minute (1:0).
The playoff matches are scheduled for February 13 and 20.
